The only things that I can count on are petunias and geraniums. For taller variety ,try Shasta Daisy's which are biannual. Also ground cover like Vinca and there is another with little purple flowers. Ask in the garden dept.
moon flowers are my favorite, tho they can be a little invasive if not kept in check. Their blooms are huge, and are a creamy white, tho I have recently seen a lavender that I would love to have, too.
Nasturshums ; they glow with orange, yellow, dark yellow and red. They add color to your yard for month.s.
vinca, mandevilla, impatiens, bogonias, marigolds
My favorites are tulips and caladiums. I've dug up caladium bulbs, refrigerated them over winter, and replanted them, and most have grown back, at least one year. I haven't had any luck with keeping tulip bulbs, but I love any color. 😇
