There are many many annuals and perennials, you really need to go to a bookstore and get a book on flower gardening, or pick up a magazine or two. There are literally thousands of web sites on flower gardening. If you want annuals, you can start with petunias, marigolds, zinnias (they are easy, come in many colors and sizes) cosmos, bachelor buttons, periwinkle, rose moss, cleome, larkspur....there isn't enough space on Y/A for all of them. Perennials include daylilies, phlox, iris, sedums, acanthus, amsonia, delphiniums, coreposis, yarrow and hundreds of others.



If you like sunflowers, however, I bet you would like the tall zinnias.
Reply:Yes you should plant Cosmos...

They are wildflowers and so beautiful with pleated petals,

they come in all colours...even candy stripe.



You could also let some of the flower heads dry on the plant, so you can gather your own seeds.



When the petals drop off and the flower heads go brown the seeds are ready to plant again. You you can continue to plant all through spring and summer.
