So after a grueling process, I have designed my first plant bed which I will put into action this spring. My backyard gets morning sun in the summer for maybe 4-5 hours, so after finding plants that satisfy that, and the zone requirement (6a) I have come up with a garden that hopefully will provide some sort of interest in most seasons, and my main colour scheme is white and purple with yellow and red accents. I have tracked down where I can purchase all the plants listed and they are all perenials.
* White Lilac
* Hedgehog Rose
* Gooseneck Loosestrife
* Some sort of Hosta
* Lance-leaved coreopsis
* False Blue Indigo
* Crested Iris, among other varieties
* Creeping Chamomile
* Anise-Hyssop
* English Lavender
* White Wood Aster
* Corydalis
I took the dimensions of my garden bed and came up with this, which doesn't include some of the exact plants I want, but is (very) roughly my idea
