I'm not a flower expert but the coral honeysuckle in the front draws the hummers so we get double the enjoyment. Llike my roses also. I love a really pretty red rose. We had hibiscus but between our dogs and the neighbors dogs they didn't last long. I was not a happy person. I like dusty miller as a border. Blue Daze is a good low grounder. Neighbors cats got into that and made a bed then did their business in it. That killed my blue daze. I have been known to mow around the wild flowers when they begin to bloom. Adds color.
