It gets sunlight in the late afternoon, like 4 or 5. I don't care if its annual or perennials, but I would prefer something easy! I live in IL. I was thinking about just putting a bunch of wild flowers seeds down but I didn't know if they would grow there. Any suggestions?

Hostas are a good choice and are perennials. Impatiens are good annuals for the shade.
Many wildflowers need sun for most of the day.
Happy gardening

I have an area of my yard that is shaded for most of the day, but also gets afternoon sun. I planted vinca vines and they are taking over. The bloom profusely and come back every year.

Rhododendron & hydrangea are nice flowering bushes that do well in the shade. Toad lilly and japanese painted fern are 2 of my favorite shade loving perennials.

I live in nearby IN and we grow marigolds that do very well with late afternoon sun.

Hostas love shade, but can do well in partial sun, too. And they have nice blooms, too. There are varigated, or solids, or huge ones.
