pirl...that would work. I was thinking about white zinnias and white marigolds with helenium--a sunny side up egg look.The yards we use are on the side and back. The front is on a main road into town so the border display needs to be see from a distance. Zinnias alone didn't work well because the foliage is so heavy (and the purple was a mistake). Thought of pompon Dahlias mixed in with the wispy tall asters. That would put some blooms out there sooner too.

Speaking of asters, look what popped up on the other side of the lawn yesterday. Huge maple trees on the property line over there. Little sun. Wonder if these (I think they are asters) just happened along or were planted many years ago:
