    Roses (modern shrub - repeat flowering), foxgloves and hardy geraniums (one of those for nearly any location).
    If I'm allowed another couple it would be viburnums and hostas.
    Gotta love a good variety of brunnera and aquilegias too - and the scent of dianthus is so evocative.... And a carpet of snowdrops is a sight to behold....

    Impossible task!

    Hmm, I want six! Roses, gaura and purple salvias for the front tasteful border and dahlias, agastache and heleniums for a riotous clash of colours out back.
