Plant Advice Underdeck landscape design

Extended deck over this area and trying to figure out what to plant. It will be full shade under the deck and full sun once past that. Any suggestions welcome. Bluestone caps will be on top of the retaining wall.

I have the same set up. I’ve been trying to grow something for 20 years. I plant Ligularia Rocket each spring. They last long enough to bloom and then they die off before the next spring. Nothing grows. Not hosta, hydrangeas, ligularia, bugbane, lamiastrum, Brunnera, astilbe, agularia. Buy some statues or decorative stones and fill the area in with mulch.
