Can anyone identify the flowers shown? - this is the "look" I am wanting for a roadside berm and I want to use perennials. Hoping someone can help me out with species/variety names. »
Not only seasonal bedding plants provide these beacons of color. Here we see a colorful bed that uses herbaceous perennials to create the same effect. Perennials in red, orange, magenta and bright yellow are guaranteed to energize your garden. These bold colors always tend to steal the show, so don't try to combine bright colors with pastels.
Plant annuals after the frost. Wait until after the last frost before planting tender annuals such as impatiens and petunias. The National Climatic Data Center can help you determine your region's last frost date.Don’t be in a rush to plant; garden centers often stock summer annuals and tender perennials well before planting time. Know when it’s safe to plant tender annuals.

I like the large rocks surrounded by the small rocks. Nice texture, and you don't have to water it. Put a sage plant in there, maybe a rosemary, keep it well trimmed.
