shade, bright shade, part shade. . .?

HI folks, I have a flower bed on the south side of my yard that has a 6' tall wood privacy fence and a tree at the west (20' away) of the bed. In the long days of summer only about 2' along the fence is totally shade. It starts all shade in the morning and then for a few hours in the afternoon there is more sun, then late afternoon/early evening it has dappled shade. I have Astilbe, Lamium, Hosta, snow on the mountain, a clematis and 2 hydrangeas there. Mostly all on the fence line.

My question is, I want to add more to the bed and expand it out more. With the exposure will hostas and hydrangeas do ok in more sun? I think I feel comfortable calling it bright shade. With that being said would part sun perennials do ok here closer to the sun edge? being in the south exposure it can get pretty hot there but there is very little constant/full sun.

I hope this make sense. . . any advise would sure help. .
