I'm starting a new flower perennial garden in area that receives widely varying sunlight levels throughout the seasons. Early in the spring, some sunlight shines through the bare trees. When the sun rises above the treeline during mid May, June, and July, the area receives 5 - 6 hours of sun. By September the spot is shady as the sun dips back below the fully leaved treeline.

Will full sun perennials do okay in this spot or should I opt for partial sun plants? I'm worried that plants that like some shade will get burned during the sunnier months while full sun plants won't get enough sun at the end of summer.
