The first thing that springs to my mind about your proposed perennial bed
is that you are going to have some serious gaps in the season where you
will not have anything blooming. I know that you can get several types of
daylillies that will extend their season, and the rudbeckia is a long
bloomer, but you have nothing to carry over the bloom from the daffodils to
the first daylilly.
Do you have a color scheme? I'm assuming that you will have yellow as the
predominant color. Why not have some other perennials as fillers? Some
suggestions along the yellow theme are: early summer -- perennial foxglove
(a soft yellow) and leopard's bane (droconium?). An edging of threadleaf
coreopsis lasts all summer and provides a blousy bottom for the tall plants
you have chosen.
Let us know what you've decided to do.
