I need help!

I need help! This is an area of our little backyard that I did not worry much about last year. Our back is long and narrow. The flagstone patio is in the middle. To the right, there is sun. I have no worries in that area. However, in these pictures is the left side--my problem child!

I have hostas that will hopefully reappear around the inside of the bricks. I love rocks and have a large rock with a juniper planted right in front of it. There are a few little bluebonnets that I think the wind planted. Container plants are along the fence, but of course not all are growing right now.
I want to keep the chiminea here--it's a good place for it. The soil is in terrible shape, the drainage is bad, there is not much sun at all...sounds like a real problem doesn't it! So, I am begging for help. I need something besides hostas, something that likes shade, something with color...HELP!! Anyone have some great ideas for me?
