Need inspiration.

North Yorkshire, United Kingdom Gb

I am looking for inspiration for next year. I have a flowerbed that is and will be only green until the rudbeckia and helianthus come into flower. I would like suggestions for fairly tall early flowers that will give some colour before the late flowering plants . I have some annual gazania in but they are dwarfed by the foliage of the others.

Kniphofia (red hot pokers) many varieties and they are hardy. Alliums.

Foxgloves, delphinium, lupin, erysimum, campanula persicifolia, if you only wanted biennial/perennial planting rather than flowering shrubs.

thanks for the ideas. As the late flowering are yellows and ambers I'll have to get coordinating colours.
