One of my favorite flowers for my garden would be Cosmos. What you most commonly find in gardens is dubbed garden cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) but there are many different species out there. In some areas, it can become an invasive species however, here in Colorado they don't seem to be a problem. The best part about our climate here is that you can usually get an spring and fall bloom (due to hotter summer temps around here) These flowers love the sun and will tollerate the heat as long as they get enough water.

They're annuals but they'll self seed fairly easily, as evident by my little volunteer above. I usually have a rule in my garden to plant annuals in containers and perennials in the ground but cosmos are so happy and colorful, I don't mind the extra work.
