We just poured a concrete patio and I am in the planning stages of the garden to go around the edges.

I'm in Zone 5 (upstate NY) and already have some plants available that had to be moved for construction:

Columbine

Daylily

Iris

And have some ordered:

24 creeping thyme "plants"

2 knockout roses

Looking for any advice on what worked in your garden...

What would look nice together... (like the roses and iris)

or any suggestions in general.

This is a pretty much full sun area, we lose it in the late afternoon over the house.

This is a link to my photo album and rough layout so far...
