I would combine Irises with daylilies. Daylilies begin to bloom in July and blooms longer than Irises. You can have months of blooms with that combination. Also there are daylilies that rebloom.

Below is an idea of how to combine the 2 varieties of plants. Consider the height of each variety. Space between plants can be more, depending on how large your border is.

Edited to add that irises can take 2 seasons to bloom. Daylilies will bloom the following year with clumps growing larger each year. Both need well drained soil. Daylilies are easier to grow than irises.
