A question about sun/shade area

[dinhduong6064]

I have a very large fir tree growing at the south west corner of my back yard near the house. There's a shade bed around it and, going north, the bed turns into a sun bed. The 'sun' bed is mostly a shade bed (mainly reflected light, next to no sun, in the early part of summer but as the sun nears the equinox the bed becomes a full sun bed for about 3 months then back to a shade bed. I have found a number of plants that seem to do well but there's something missing. All of the plants are mainly shades of green. I'd like to add a few smaller plants with dark foliage and lime or gold foliage, with or without flowers to accent the bed. So far I've found sedum and sun tolerant heuchera. Would these plants hold their color and do well with the sun/shade cycles?
Sorry this is such a long post.

try sun coleus. Alternanthra. Or rotate annuals as per exposure
