Which plants/flowers grow contained by shade best? I live in Southern Cali, where on earth it feels approaching spring...

I live in Southern Cali, where on earth it feels approaching spring time most of the year. I have a huge tree that shades most of the grassy nouns in the backyard, which is technically dirt. I prefer to put plants/flowers contained by the shaded area, but not sure which plants will survive? Not really familiarized with deeply plants, but I'm up for some advice! Thanks!
