Try daylilies, which will give you lots to look at through July.
Also, they are the easiest plants to pollenate. When the seedlings
mature, you will have fewer 'dogs' than in irises, and you will have a
real challenge in deciding which ones to keep!
Look around your area and find out what is growing and blooming
later in other gardens.
Get some petunias and zinnias for bloom in the hottest weather.
I hope these plants will get rid of your PBD!
