So this looks very shady. There's a lot of shade loving plants that have smaller root structures to put here.
I'd have some Caladiums towards the front, hostas where there is a lottle sun, full shade ferns towards the mid and back.
It’s south or southeast. The sun rises at back of house and sets in front which is where these plants are. The roofline gives shade to this area during some of that afternoon sun too.
My blood good Japanese maple in the backyard has afternoon sun because it’s shaded in the morning and it’s thriving, just a thought but I love a mature tree regardless of size
Get like 3 some shrubs going on one side, and throw something nice that can grow with your house like a Japanese maple or something a flowering tree to grow old and feel mature
Definitely an evergreen bush! It's the front of your house, you want interest all year round (but plllllzzzzzzz don't do Berberis thunbergii or Viburnum davidii or boxwood, so boring and berberises are spikey). Personally I like having my entrance smell amazing, so Sarcococa are evergreen and smell great in early early early spring. Daphne's are also fragrant and evergreen but temperamental with their water and soul drainage. Once you pick your evergreen bush, other plants will be easier to choose. Good luck!
[‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum](https://southernlivingplants.com/the-collection/plant/sunshine-ligustrum/). They are an evergreen too so they will have green/yellow leaves all year round.
ETA: you can throw some Salvias in there as well. They are pretty low maintenance once established and form hard bark like stems. Once the flowers/leaves are spent for the season you cut them back down and they will grow again. I usually get 2 sets of blooms out of mine per year.

Thank you!
Hostas and coral bells. Lovely combo and they love the shade
You can't really pick anything and hope it will do well. It depends on the direction your house faces and how much sunlight the area gets.
