  I think of white foxgloves and tall, pale snap dragons as floaty

  I think it’s cow parsley’s fault. It pleases me greatly.

  I love it and hope to have lots. I have never managed yet to direct sow it.

  I go to a local walk’s car park at lunch time to get out of the house and it’s everywhere. I want to lie down in it and nap. Haha.

  Geums early in the season, then verbena bonariensis. Verbena is quite free-standing, and I find if it does blow over early on then it stubbornly grows back vertically up from the prostrate stem
  
  Edit - sorry, just noticed the request for suggestions was a few months ago!

  Not sure which beds you might put these in - but I thought of you...
