Depends on the length of freezes you experience and your willingness to cover the plants.
A couple flowering and non flowering plants come to mind…
Philodendron: (Rojo Philodendron is awesome)
Gardenia (flower)
Hydrangea (flower)
Salvia (flower)
Various forms of Iris (flower)
Rhododendron (flower)
Cardboard Palm
Azalea (flower)

caladiums are my go-to shade pant. Have to dig them in the Fall if you want to re-plant in the summer.
Aspidistra is also a great shade perennial if you just need big green leaves.

Begonias are good option to consider - lots of cultivars (varieties). Take a look at Dragon Wing Begonias for shade-partial shade for planters. I’ve had good success with them in planters in fairly heavy shade. They are annuals in Z8 & Z9 so freezing weather does kill them, particularly in raised container-planters.
