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.

If you want to include tuberous plants too, consider dwarf dahlias for
sun/partial shade areas. They put on a good show from early summer
and onward, but require their tubers lifted for storage in the fall as
they are not hardy here. They can be propagated easily from seeds,
divisions, or cuttings. This website gives an idea as to what is
available if you are willing to go the seed route (to start next
winter).

and don't some of the more woodland plants bloom later?


crinums bloom with amaryllis. not sure about Lycoris, or nerine
