Craig,
i am zone 8, so did some checking on how my plants would do in your zone 5.
The romance garden I put in has to survive sun, as it is an open bed at the
entrance of our property.
The cannas are started in pots indoors, and they love the sun. They're
stored in dry peat all winter, so should ork for you. So many colours,
heights, and leaf colours (variegated is something else in a bed). I
bought some from Rockwood mail order (the dreaded mailorder house!), and
they all started beautifully in pots.
The daylilies grow well in part shade to blazing sun - I have them all over
my gardens. And, they multiply like rabbits, keeping the $$ down, and
providing plants to offer in exchange with friends.
The lavender loves sun and mediocre soil! The phlox and peonies would be
fine for you as well, and again, they multiply like crazy.
Good luck!
Lorraine
