Re: Good Morning!/ Orders for spring??

Looking towards spring.  I want to get my raised vegetable garden beds and
walks completed.  Then, I have ordered a stone bench that we have been
having problems getting installed due to weather.  I intend to place it on
a dirt bench at the lake side.  Behind it, I plan to build a stone wall.  I
am thinking of plants for the stone wall.  The area faces west and is
actually more dry sun/shade than anything but I am hoping that the stones
in the walls will provide moisture niches.  The bench has a pine and
dogwood along the edge.  Cedars grow a little further down the lake path.  

Because the trees nearby have more of a yellow tone, I am considering
Veronica repens 'Sunshine', xHeucherella 'Sunspot', Geranium 'Anne
Thomson', all new to me.  Any suggestions?
