You KNOW you won't find a four-season flower in Oklahoma. But a good 3-season one is Euphorbia polychroma (cushion spurge). It makes a sizeable mound in 2-3 years, is covered with bright yellow flowers in spring, makes a nice round mound of green in summer, and turns red in fall. Hard to beat for three-season interest.

Well, if you search the web long enough, you might come across someone selling the infamous "Snow-Lily". It grows year-round and blooms every 2 weeks,(and I've got some AWESOME swamp land for sale in FLA! ), (lol).
Honestly, I think you should pick up some varietys of "Cone flowers".Go to Klehms Song Sparrow to peruse a fantastic array of plants & flowers.

Marigolds are probably your best bet. They are the hardiest and longest blooming of most flowers. Flowers will die off if you get a snap frost but many times I have seen blooms into late October. If you plant them thick as a border they serve a dual purpose and help keep bugs and rabbits away too. Good luck, MAC

You can plant Zinnia seeds every two weeks in the early spring to late fall/late winter after that the cold will kill everything and you just resort to fake flowers Hobby Lobby carries some very real looking inpatients and if you purchase pointsetta after the holiday you can get them for very little and go wild. Also look for fakes on eBay fake lots go for very little on auction. Get some plaster of paris to commit them to your containers. Have fun. I fool my neighbors every year.

Most annuals do well with enough water, petunias, marigolds, begonias and zinnias stand up to our heat well if you don't let them die of thirst. Nothing I know of will bloom year-round, but you can use bulbs for early spring flowers, annuals for later spring, summer and fall, and pansies for flowers in the late fall, winter and spring. .

Roses are great flowers that last for years. some think that they are harder to care for than most perenials. but in truth, they are mush easier. all you have to do is keep 'em waters, fertilized, and trim off dead parts/ spent flowers.
