look up "garden color wheel" to figure out what colors would look good together. i'm waiting for my azaleas to get big so i just planted a bunch of groupings of annuals around them to fill in. in my shady area i planted hostas. there aren't a lot of long flowering, eye-catching annuals to plant in the shade other than impatiens.

look at http://www.bluestoneperennials.com and you can enter your zone, light condition, plant type, etc. and get a bunch of pics of different flowers.

below is a pic of my new hosta garden....i'm new to all this so who knows what it'll look like when it gets bigger.
