Penstemons would be perfect there.

I have similar problems with my shasta daisy bed. The daisies sometimes flop over, especially if it were to rain right now. The penstemon grows just as exuberantly in the same bed, but doesn't flop....so loves the same conditions. I have many penstemons, but my favorite is 'Sour Grapes'. It blooms from now until frost. Dark purple.
