Thanks to all who have generously given advice re my design question - I've
certainly learned lots about coreopsis 'Moonbeam' this week.  But of course
that isn't the only plant in this fairly narrow bed (2 1/2 ft wide x 20 ft
long in front of a split rail fence).  I also have (most in small pots)
Sidalcea 'Party Girl' - Prairie Mallow (sorry but lots of 'newbies' like me
are just learning the latin names)
Acontium - Blue monkshood     
Phlox paniculata 'Starfire'   
Echinacea - purple coneflower 
Achillea ptarmica 'Dwarf Ballerina'- white yarrow  
Lavendula augustfolia
Perovskia - Russian sage
Geranium sanguinum 
and .... my favorite, 2 Campanula persicifolia "Chettle Charm" - white
flowers tinged with lavender.
In the midst of all of this is a lovely David Austin rose 'Heritage' which,
to my delight, survived our very long and nasty winter with flying colours.

So may I draw on your wealth of experience yet again?  What is going to
spread quickly and whats going to take its sweet time? Knowing that will
help me decide how to plan this out.  BTW, this bed has the far corner with
morning sun only, the rest in full sun. 
Thanks so very much in advance - Cheral in Kamloops, B.C., zone 5
