Are there any you have tried that would really thrive in such conditions? Over three ft tall. Dappled shade - no direct sun. Drought tolerant - ish if poss.
Campanula medium, Canterbury Bells gets quite tall and can stand shade.p and flower for ages. Regular deadheading encourages more and more flower buds and flowers. Here's ours last year....
That looks like Campanula persicifolia, a perennial much better suited to the conditions than C. medium
Percisifolia is happy in shade. Mine probably only get to about 2ft so might be a bit shorter than you ideally want

My C. persicifolia get to about 2.5 to 3 feet. They're fine in my dry soil/low-ish rainfall. Mine are mostly self-sown (can't even remember where I put the original ones) and they don't tend to put themselves in the most shady areas but they're certainly happy in part-shade. A plant planted in light shade would probably be OK (I think not in deep shade like under a big dense-canopied tree).

Pritchards Variety is perennial. I had mine for about 5 years, then it disappeared. I've recently sown some mixed Campanula lactiflora which is also a perennial

It's a biennial and can get to about 6ft-
I also had C.Lactiflora Prichard's Variety which I really liked, but one year it just vanished.
