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.

Flower - Dahlia Sunrise


Flower with purple leaves and stems. I haven't found the type yet. Pretty.

A group of volunteers makes sure that flowers are blooming on the Bridge Of Flowers from early Spring through late Autumn.

If I have missed or misidentified flowers, please let me know.

ed: Tentatively identified as Dahlia Sunrise.
