I find Geraniums very hardy and I like the look of both the foliage and the flowers. They come in a variety of colors, fill out an area fairly quickly, and do well in the hot and humid summer where I live.

These are all vines and are referred to as trumpet or creeper.
They do not know the meaning of death. They grow and grow and grow. They must be cut WAY back after blooming because they will grow 10 to 15 feet in a summer.

Marigolds are pretty simple to plant and grow. They are also a good bug repellant, a benefit that many plants do not have.
Good luck!

I would go with the daylilies also ... they do well in Zones 3-9 and they come in many colors and flower types:

Daylilies are tough & hard to kill. They're so beautiful, too.
Once the Wisteria get a foothold, they take over & are really, really hard to kill.
