Be careful with that Kentucky website, though. Kentucky is zone 6.

One tip that I keep hearing again and again about making nice-looking planting arrangements is to buy things in groups of 3, 5, or 7, and plant them all together. If you intersperse things too much, the garden looks like a dog’s breakfast. Big clumps are what you’re after.

And some tall things in back, too.
