Cornus alba 'Sibirica'

Has anyone managed to grow Cornus alba 'Sibirica' in a north facing position?  It would have a fence behind it, which would allow a small amount of south facing sun to get through.

    It will survive and thrive if the soil is right but the whole point of the red stems is to see them lit up by low winter sun so hiding it in a north facing aspect with just a bit of sun filitered through a fence won't exactly show it off at its best.
