Wow! Where do I start? I use daylilies & irises as my "bones". The back rows are 3-5 foot high. I use phlox, New England Asters, Siberian Irises,Oriental lilies cannas(I cheat!) and annuals like Cleome or tall Zinnias.

Middle rows (18-24") include daylilies, irises, yellow loosestrife, red or pink beebalm, other asters, mums, Coneflowers & such. Black-eyed Susans, Garlic chives, onion chives, Sedum, Speedwell, Balloon Flowers, Asian lilies and such.Maybe more zinnias.

Front rows are short daylilies, Bouncing Bet (Soapwort),
3 colors of Blanket flowers, Coreopsis of different sizes, Lambs Ears,and more. Each bed also has favorite annuals like Snapdragons, Zinnias and Batchelor Buttons.

Each bed is different but each has constant blooms from April Daffodils to November Mums.
