Verbena bonariensis is the Tall purple flower with the hairy stems. Drought tolerant.

The third flower is a little hard to see the foliage. It is either a Salvia or a Linaria? It could also be a flowering mint. I have some that flowers similarly.

Thank you Robin~ you are awesome. Do you know if they are annual or perennial? I so appreciate your knowledge!

Robin nailed the plants. I'm not sure the verbena would be winter-hardy in Minnesota. The milkweed is the cultivar "Hellow Yellow" I believe, and should be hardy to zone 4.

Not sure about the Milkweed, but the other two are perennials. The Verbena would need lots and lots of mulching to over winter where you are. Have fun!!
