Nepeta Snowflake:

I grow them all with roses and lilies although only the nepeta is hardy in my zone. I think that all of them are in yours.

And I second the suggestion of verbena bonariensis.

If you have any grasses I suggest you tuck some there. Although they are a bit tall, the effect is spectacular.
