What about coleus? They are fine with shade, come in lots of shapes and color variations. They don't handle frost, but you could take cuttings before the cold weather comes, and keep them in the house. Put the baskets in the shed, cover them for added protection. If they don't make it through the winter you have the cuttings.
Good luck
