They need more sun than that to really bloom well--I did have one that the previous owners of my old house had planted under the shade of a 20 foot ash, so it got nice sun in the winter and early spring before the ash leafed out, but during the summer it got a little morning sun and not much else. One year it didn't bloom at all, the next two years I got it to have a couple of flowers but definitely not a spectacular display.

Looks like a good spot for a hydrangea.
