I would check with the florist at your local greenhouse for the best ones in your area. Let them know what lighting the area has where you want to plant your perennials.
A lot will depend on what zone you’re in, if you’ve got sunny, shady, or sun/shade spots. Your local nursery will carry items appropriate for your area and no doubt you’ll find some cool stuff.
These are native to your state and area---------Simpson's rosinweed (Silphium simpsonii) is a perennial in the Aster family native to Florida's panhandle. It typically blooms in summer. Growing to five feet or more, the large yellow flowers make it a showy wildflower.--Hybrid Louisiana irises are outstanding flowering perennials blooming in March, April and May. They are adapted to boggy sites, shallow standing water or average garden beds.--Woodland phlox or Louisiana phlox (Phlox divaricata) is an attractive perennial spring wildflower for sunny to partially shaded area.--Autumn sage (Salvia greggii) is native to Texas and produces colorful flowers all through the summer. It is drought tolerant once established and a good choice for pollinator gardens.--Blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium) is among the few blue spring wildflowers. A perennial that returns to bloom every year, it grows over the winter, blooms in the spring and is dormant in summer.--The foliage of Florida starbush (Illicium floridanum) smells of anise when crushed. The spring flowers are usually a deep burgundy - this is a white-flowered selection.

My favorite is catmint. It reminds me of Lavender, but requires zero maintenance!
