Sorry, but that's a little confusing. Pine trees sounds like shady, but "hot hot sun" sounds like full sun.
If what you are looking for is full sun perennials that can take the heat, there are lots of great ones, you can make a beautiful meadow/ cottage garden:
day lilies, coreopsis, black eyed susan, lavender, bee balm, purple coneflower, gaillardia (blanket flower), perennial sunflowers, butterfly weed, penstemon. Most of those are attractive to bees/ butterflies.
Incidentally, here's another website for finding plants that will work in your conditions:
There's also https://www.garden.org/plantfinder/ It's a searchable database. You can input what you want, height, color, type of plant, edible, fragrant, whatever and what your USDA hardiness zone it and it will give you a list of suggestions.
