Lantanas are fantastic. Gaura is a joy. But my absolute most prized flowering plants are the knockout shrub roses. They started blooming in April and will bloom until frost.
I like my cala lilies. They have naturalized - I have so many now I can't even count, the deer don't eat them and they do well in a drought....so far.
Wow! I need to plant calla lilies if the deer don't eat them !! But I am afraid they are not hardy here.
Some of my favorites are the same as Riveree's.... Hibiscus, and New Guinea Impatiens, for two. I also love peonies, Iris, roses, and the ones that grow in clusters...Hydrangeas ( but they are shrubs, not perennials),and spiderworts. Also spike flowers... Ah well, I love almost all flowers !

Deer don't eat peony's either. Love them! I feel your pain.
I found a new to me plant at the nursery a few weeks ago
Moon flower bush
I had seen the moon flower vine before but never the bush
this plant is amazing the flowers are huge white trumpets though the bloom only lasts 1 or 2 days
they send out the "bud" and it is almost as if you can watch it grow & bloom
I took some pictures and will post them as soon as I upload them
I did some research and the flower turns into a seed pod if you don't deadhead
I can't wait till it dries so I can start growing more
another plant I need to take pictures of is my "lemon daddy" hydrangea the lime green leaves and huge light pink blooms are a nice combo
