Have you considered an African violet?   Even they take bright light but not direct sun.   All the flowering plants I can think of are the same,  bright light.

Coleus -- not a flower, but very colorful and does not require much sun.

I am confused as to whether you are using the pots inside or outside but wanted to recommend caladiums for outdoors.  Their foliage can be very colorful and dramatic.  I do take up the bulbs and store them over the winter then replant when it warms up in spring.

Hosta 

There are so many varieties and they do flower.

I have a black thumb and even I can grow them!

I would go with annuals in pots as I tire of the same flowers years after year.  I love pots of  multi color impatiens.  If you are looking for perennials, you will not find a lot ever flowering plants.
