Natives that stay looking ok all season?
What plants are going to survive year round for the front yard?

I have a front yard native garden in zone 6B (SE Michigan) and I am looking for native plants that don’t end up looking really terrible at some point in the season. Examples of “looking really terrible” include the black eyed susans in the photo whose leaves are turning black, as well as things that get powdery mildew really badly.
Some plants I currently have that look ok all season include nodding wild onion, purple love grass, prairie dropseed, harebell, butterfly weed, and whorled milkweed.
It’s a full sun location, with dry sandy clay. Since it’s in the front yard, I want to keep plants to 3 feet tall max.
Thanks!
I planted a bunch of stuff last year and the freezes this winter took them out. Refreshing the yard probably after this weekend. What are some good front and back yard plants for Tulsa?
