@clarkinks, Have you considered adding hollyhocks and zinnias? Hollyhocks as you know are biennial. They also reseed themselves so readily, as do the annual zinnias. I read this on a seed packet, but you probably know this too - Hollyhocks were called the ‘outhouse’ flower, apparently to hide the unsightly outhouses, and also to guide guests to the outdoor privy without having to ask where it was located!
They both can put on gorgeous displays! I should still have a lot of seed of the black hollyhock somewhere if you would like some, let me know.
