Try a different plant than lavender with the other plants. It tends to like soil drier and leaner than the other plants. And the holly will shade it, and lavender likes full sun.

I don’t have experience with many of your other plants, but you want to look up preferred growing conditions and sizes for your various choices to see whether they have the same needs and will work well together.

See if the ligustrum/privet is invasive (seeds around via birds to grow in unwanted places) in your area. I know it is a problem in some areas.

Have you measured the two beds? It does not look to me as if you have room for all the plants you mention.

Which direction does the house face?

Please visit the Roses forum for suggestions - you can do much, much better than Knock-Out. They will need to know your location (nearest big city, state) to give meaningful advice.

This is a suggestion for basic organization. Use what plants that appeal to you that make it work. The bed around the tree needs enlarging.

Looking at the above suggestion, I would add breaking up all that grass by adding pavers or some sort of hard structure leading to the street with small beds of low growing plants that flank the sides of this new pathway to the door.

Also, I would add lighting... ( an uplight into the tree on the left and throughout the yard in visually interesting and useful areas)

As far as plants go, Zone 7 Idaho is very different from a Zone 7 on the East Coast. This can impact plant selections, especially roses if you want to stray away from Knock Out Roses. What geographical area are you residing in?

@Lynn-in-TX-Z8b- Austin Area/Hill Country Thank you! I was thinking exactly the same thing about the paver path and lights. I am planning a brick walkway there but I would love to edge it with small plants. In term of location, I am in Raleigh, NC. (7B).

How pretty, @Yardvaark. Thank you for the idea!

Not to go off topic but dianela those pictures are to die for!!!!!

Thank you very much Oursteelers. This is such a lovely time of the year. I find myself wishing I could just stop it there.

dianela7bnorthalyour rose garden makes me dream! Thank you for all the suggestions!! I hope I can share some beautiful pictures in a few months too!

Thank you very much Ella. Looking forward to seeing your roses soon.

Following

I would do a short climbing fragrant roses up the front porch side. Camelias scorch in full sun. I would do English roses or Kordes parfuma collection (Earth Angel) with salvias. I have 4 varieties of sage/salvias (Mystic Spires, Blue Hill, Caradonna and Blue Suede shoes. All will give you the blue or purple to complemen the pink roses and echinacea Pow Wow. I would add some catmint, Yarrow and hardy geraniums as well.

Thank you, all! We started the planting process! This is a mock-up I designed for the landscaping company that is helping me. Due to availability at the nursery and the fact that I stay at home during the quarantine, we went on a slightly different direction on the front. So far we have planted:

Under the window:

Pink Azalea Autumn Royalty (first layer)

Gardenia (second layer)

Baby Gem Box (third layer)

Hosta (on the corner under the steps)... I am not sure this one will do well in the sun.

Gardenia Trees with Phlox (in the planters).

Under the Crape Mirtle:

Pink Knock-Out Roses (I was sad he didn't bring me a different type but I took them).

Lavender

Side of the house:

White Camelias

Confederate Jasmine on Lattice (in between two windows)

Back of the House:

Hydrangeas

Confederate Jasmine on Lattice (to cover A/C unit)

Neighbor's Fence line:

Ligastrum Japonicum (but I am concerned he planted too far apart for privacy. They are 5-6 feet apart from each others....)

I cannot wait to post the AFTER pictures.

ps: we also painted the house :)

Camellias in full sun - especially afternoon sun - are a disaster waiting to happen. Likewise any rose that isn't a knock-out or a rugosa - unless, of course, you enjoy wearing a hazmat suit and spraying the crap out of them through the whole hot, humid summer. Make the planting area larger. Limit your plant selection unless you're a hardcore gardener. Do more research on varieties that perform well in your area. Catmints, for example, will tend to do better than lavender with a similar effect. Little stepping stones to the street will not do justice to your house. Save your money until you can install a proper walk. Likewise, big box store solar lights rarely work well and clutter a landscape in my opinion. Real landscape lighting, if necessary (I like the dark), is worth the investment.

I agree on catmint also add salvias. I started my front yard (full sun) and will eventually replace the annuals with more catmint, salvias, perennial dianthus and lambears.

What kind are your white camelias since I wouldl like a camelia for part sun area in the side yard.

Gardenias don't rebloom well in our clay soil (leaves turn yellow and falls off). It does better in a pot.

I have a star jasmine, honeysuckle and hydrangea vine (woodvamp) ready to go one we have iron fence up. Is confederate jasmine better than star jasmine?
