Summer bulbs/flowers- Which one should I choose?

I planted some pansy for the spring colour.



I was wondering can I still plant some specific bulbs to bloom in Summer?

Because I was told the pansy's are for spring.

Are there any summer bulbs/flowers which are not to tall in heights?

Maybe the size of the pansys or a little bit taller would do too?



already have some plants and I want to plant the bulbs around them, so I get some colour.

The pansy's will do it for spring, but what to plant for the summer?

Summer bulbs/flowers- Which one should I choose?
DWARF CANNAS. THEY ONLY GROW 3 FEET IN HEIGHT AND WILL ADD LOTS OF COLOR.



IF YOU GET COLDER THAN 5 DEGREES F IN THE WINTER STORE THE BULB INSIDE AND THEN AFTER FROST TAKE THEM BACK OUT
Reply:dahlia, iris, day lily, caladium
Reply:The caladium are nice because the color is in the foliage, so it stays all summer. Dahlias are later bloomers, though spectacular - stick with the miniature or dwarf varieties on those if you want them to stay low. I would also throw down some marigold seeds each spring and enjoy those easy growers all summer, too - they are not bulbs, but they are easy and they may re-seed - like the pansies. Shorter zinnas are the same way. But you asked for bulbs so back to that topic...I enjoy Lycoris, which stay low, and cyclamen is nice as well.
