The daises are called Crazy Daisy or Margarita Shasta. I grew these from seed winter before last and this year and they are really taking off. I also grew some purple cone flowers which so far are about 4 feet tall.
I love the Peonies I just did a little research and I may be able to grow them here in zone 9 I have a perfect spot that gets morning sun Time to talk to my favorite nursery
Peonies need cold periods to bloom. I know a lady in Southern Georgia that has tried for years to grow them. Even this winter, with snow, hers just came up and did nothing. Zone 7 is about the highest zone they'll do well in. For me, I get a few blooms, but nothing like you would see in more northern states.
If several Astilbe are thriving in the same general place what are my chances paperhouse?
I'd say pretty good. Astilbe needs heavy shade in my zone. I have heucheras in part sun and they do fine. I don't get many blooms, but the foliage is the best part, IMO.

Thanks for the info paperhouse.
We had an unusually cold winter this year(we had 13 days below freezing and many days right above freezing) that resulted in tons of peaches on my peach tree. I do not want to "encourage" another one next year by planting anything that needs so much cold

LOL. I understand. My peach tree went nuts this year too. Now if they would just grow and ripen. They seem to be stuck at the golf ball sized stage.
I live in northwest Indiana. Here's a photo of my spiderwort, which is an Indiana native plant. It's beautiful from sunrise until about 11:30 a.m. Then all of the flowers close up and it's a plain-looking plant again! I love this plant!
