Flowers and herbs that do well in the shade?

I'm putting three flower boxes on my front porch and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what type of flowers and herbs do well in a partly shaded area. I think it only gets sun somewhere between mid-day to late afternoon. I'm thinking about doing one box of herbs and two boxes of flowers.Also, I'm in central Ohio if that helps too. Thank you!

DIY Network recommends these herbs for shade.
Lemon balm, chives, parsley, sweet woodruff , and rosemary.

Be sure you note each plants requirements for drainage, soil condition, watering, and cutting.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

(Oscar Wilde)
