Here's how it went down. In a small 11' by 14" bed that get flooded by a downspout, we placed large flagstones interspersed with ground cover such as Creeping Jenny. The limey green fillers look great, but I'm still not sure they'll survive the amount of water that comes through there. Another alternative we may have to try would be to put more bog friendly plants in the area. In the center of that bed, we place three large pots. The largest holds a pink double bloom Cameilla Sasanqua. My hope is that the Fall color will appear when nothing else is blooming and that the pink will go well with the blue accents used on the patio.
Our focal point planted coming out from a corner was a Lacele

We also put in a bird feeder for some height and interest in a corner and put in a window box in a small window above the kitchen sink. The window boxes contained some variegated Ivy and a small Spruce.

Outside the fence on a path from the car, we placed some more flagstones bordered by a dark green liropie to create an entryway. Given the time of year, we didn't do any annuals, but that's next along with some serious powerwashing! Thanks for Tall Traditions Building Company for the fence and to Tammy for a number of the plants!
