I worked on a cottage garden with a friend. Our biggest challenge was to have something from Spring to Fall. Spring bulbs and Helebores start. Knockout Roses and Japanese Anemones usually end the season. I couldn't begin to list the things that bloom in between. Heucheras give lasting leaf color. Coneflowers are long lasting. Galardias, if dead headed will flower for the season. Foxgloves are spectacular but bloom for a short time Just about any plant can be used in a cottage garden. Pic is from late Spring '10
