I have some primroses in a shady area of my garden under huge evergreen trees - they come in all sorts of colors incl yellow.
Also try yellow loosestrife - has small yellow flowers - this is in the same area, only with a bit more sun.
Catmint will grow just about anywhere - and has purple flowers.
Good luck!

hydrangea love shade. also some clematis would do well in the conditions she's got in her yard.
ferns do well in shade. hosta's. there's a viney/ground cover that is has yellow leaves - can't think of the name of it right now tho...
there are a large variety of geranium - some do well in shade, all of them flower (come in reds, whites, pink, purples) and some have variegated leaves - i've got one with yellow/green/white leaves that has a pink flower. i'll get the name of it for you when i go home tonight.
some peony's do okay in shade - they come in bushes as well as trees. colors are pinks, reds purples, whites. i think there might even be yellows too.

Search The Garden Helper:
My friend moved into a new house a few years ago and is now wanting to do something about the yards.
The back yard is mostly shade due to some very large trees and bushes. And I don't think she is going to be able to get rid of them any time soon. It will get a few hours of mid-morning sun.
She likes all colors especially White, Purple, and Yellow. And since she is a new gardener with a new baby we are looking for easy care and drought tolerant.
The last owner was a gardener and the soil is still in amazing shape. I wish my soil was that good.
So far she likes
Iresine
Delphinium
Ballon Flower
Veronica
Can you please add to the list some?
