then there are easy perenns to try also:
Daisy, various heights, multiply quickly, (lots of flowers all season til frost, great as cut flowers too)
Achillea (yarrow) most of the season
Coreopsis, many to choose from but the easiest is probably grandifloras, again lt. spring thru til frost, and they reseed also making a nice patch
Salvias, many to choose from, nemerosas will bloom the whole season
Scabiosa, again the whole season for bloom also reseeding
Geranium (the perennial varieties) Johnson's Blue and Rozanne will bloom the whole season,(Rozanne is more prolithic), and many more to choose from
Veronica, personally I like the spicatas as they are all season bloomers, some are only for a month or so.
Alcea (hollyhock), easy and reseed in the garden
Rudbeckia, many will bloom the whole summer til frost
Iris germanica, only bloom in June-ish but they are sooo easy, just have to plant at the correct depth.

1) Salvia nemerosa (purple), Dianthus g. Cheddar pinks

3) clockwise from top: wild sunflowers, Daisy Becky, unopened Catanche, Veronica, Malva
4) Yarrow
5) Rudbeckia

Those are just a few ideas to get you started... Remember you will need to get tools to start a new garden. Shovel, trowel, pruners. hose, spray nozzel....... You know, just some of the basics. So let us know more.......... We're glad to help. Have plants and seed if your interested...., just remember they will need TLC whatever you do, watering, weeding and deadheading (which can include cutting for the vase too), it will keep many in bloom til frost. Good Luck. Kathy
