Default Unsure about shade!

Hi, I'm not sure about what plants to plant in an area of my garden as
I'm not really sure if it's classed as shadey or not. So it is east
facing, gets morning sun up until about 12pm, it is a bed that comes out
about 3 feet from some mature large evergreen shrubs. So I'm guessing
these will make it dry, it is clay type soil too. I've grown poppies
there and grannies bonnet. So does this count as a partial shade area?
In winter it gets even less sun.

Thanks, for the help


Hardy Geraniums, the true Geranium, would probably be happy there. A
good, long-lasting award winning one is G. 'Rozanne' (used to be 'Jolly
Bee')
