My home (built 1917) had well-known gardens back in the ’20s and we want to restore them. Does anyone know what sort of plants or flowers would have been common then? And which will keep the gardens looking colourful & lush in at least 3 of the seasons? (I’m in the Great Lakes region)

I’ve been trying to find some flowers, plants, and bushes to plant in my “island” looking area of my yard. You know when people put in a bunch of flowers and bushes and rocks and who knows what else.. I want it to be full looking and easy to take care of. I live in Montana.
