You have also included corms ~[crocus]. The Crocosmias have been very much
improved and can now fill midsummer to late autumn.

To expand along those line, you can add iris, gladiolas, lilies, calla
lilies, alliums, and dahlias. If you add rhizomes, you can include cannas.
I'm sure the list is quite long.
