Contact your local county extension office. That's where the local Master Gardeners are located and they have many publications and other advice for what will grow best in your area and soil. Here's the link to the Master Gardeners at the University of Florida: http://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/mastergardener/

Would love to see photos of your garden (using a combination of blooming plants) as inspiration for their others designing their summer landscapes. Please feel free to share your pictures.
