Plan a bed out on paper, browse the catalogs all fall and winter for new and just really have to try plants that work together, taking into account color, texture, size and bloom time not to mention critter resistance. Then order and buy locally. Get the whole thing planted, wait about four years then switch everything around to where I really want it. Example: this section has been changed around several times and no doubt will be again.
