April,
I love all the Hedychiums -both scented and unscented. They give a great tropical look and other than regular watering, they are not much trouble (i.e. not pest prone!). Pink "V" and Disney bloom earlier for me. I have added Dr. Moy (because the variegated foliage is striking) and Greenii (because of the striking orange blooms).

Also if you haven't grown any curcumas, you may want to consider them. They start blooming in early July for me and bloom non-stop through my first frost. Most of them don't require as much sun and I mix them in front of my larger hedychiums.
