Thanks to the previous owners of our house, we've got a great show of flowers in the spring (daffodils and woodland phlox), and a great show from July till frost (various wildflowers), but there's a 6-8 week deadzone from mid-May till the end of June with virtually nothing blooming.
I planted a few McKana columbines last year and they take over from the phlox just perfectly. I'm going to plant more columbines, but we seem to have serious problems with columbine leaf miners here, so I'd like to find some other options for that bloom period, too. Any ideas? (I'm going to get lots of daylilies for late June, so it's that late May slot that I'm especially interested in.) Oh, and I've got heavy soil, and most of the garden is morning shade, afternoon sun, but I do have some patches with other light patterns.
