Need ideas..

We just put in a 70 ft walkway from the driveway to the front door - and had the landscaper make two beds on either side of the walk - the side closest to the house is much wider - we've already planted - a hydrangea bush (on one side of the garage - facing the drive) and 2 small evergreen type trees that only get 15 ft high on each corner of the garage facing the road and front of the house - I want to plant flowers along both sides of the walk - furthest from the house - closest to the walkway

any ideas....we get morning sun - and then shade - preferably flowers that come up every year

Coneflowers and black eyed susans will come up year after year.

How about Bleeding Hearts? They can grow in some sun, but mine are in pretty much full shade on the north side of the house and loving it!

Maybe some flowering hosta - there are some - and Coral Bells (heuchera). Since I love blue in a garden, I would sprinkle in some perennial (or are they biennial?) Forget me not seeds which will also reseed. And violas - be careful they do jump, but I like that.
