Shrub/Small Tree for Shade

I need to find a shrub or small tree to fill a hole in my backyard plantings that is in shade (it only gets about an hour of sun in the very early morning). The characteristic I am looking for most in the plant is showiness; preferably it would have flowers, but interesting foliage, berries, etc. could suffice. We only get about 20 inches of precipitation annually, so a drought tolerant plant would be great, but I can supplement with water from a hose if needed. The soil is clay and alkaline and I live in Zone 5. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
