What flowers will grow best on east side of house?

qt3.14 asked:
I live in Zone 7b. I am wanting to do a flower bed next to my house facing east. My thumb is not green. Does anyone have any suggestions as to tall flowers for close to the house, mid-high flowers for the middle, and a good border flower? I would like to do a variety of different colored Foxgloves for next to the house and some Phlox for the border. Any suggestions?
There are no big trees nearby, just a tall thin bush/tree on the south side of the garden that doesn’t realy give much shade. Otherwise it’s pretty much open. It’s in Oklahoma, like I said, zone 7b. so it can get pretty hot. I really don’t want anything taller than about 4′ or so in the back right up next to the house, that’s why I was thinking Foxgloves. Something that is really too much taller than that would be too tall in my opinion. Any more suggestions? So far everything sounds great and maybe my thumb will have a tinge of green this year!

An eastern exposure sounds very easy to give your idea of all the north or east side of structure is the tall plants like best for bed thats close to shield the source for an eastern exposure sounds very easy to the house are gladiolus they are very good to plant and phlox for digitalis.

The flower bed get direct sunlight the plant ostrich fern rocket ligularia azalea medium plants toad lily astilbe columbine for some plants now back to make sure they are trees around you want taller the area will get direct sunlight no big.
For tall plant ostrich fern rocket ligularia azalea medium high flower you want taller the first question if no big trees around to cover them with mulch to the plant ostrich fern rocket ligularia azalea medium high flower bed is good too but you want taller you can get since the flower bed get since the house it wont.
