I am surprised the begonias did not do well. They usually thrive in sun or shade. Be sure they aren't getting too much water. They have succulent stems.

Impatiens and sunpatiens do well in morning sun. Most of the shade plants will tolerate morning sun and may even bloom better. Here are suggestions:
