Question about Fall Planting, Tenn Z 7

Hello, fellow-gardeners, 
I would like to introduce myself by way of this first post, although I have learned a lot reading others' posts over the past few months.  I am a fairly new perennial gardener and there is much to learn.  I will be visiting my father in Memphis TN, (zone 7?) in October, and want to help him prepare small perennial bed(s) for his small space, which contains a very large tree that keeps most in shade, or part-shade, and on the dry side.  My thought was prepare the soil in the bed(s) this visit, and then  in a spring visit, help him plant the beds with perennials.  But I'd really like to plant something!
	My question is, is there anything we could fall-plant that would survive over the winter, other than pansies, which aren't really perennials, and maybe mums? Bulbs would need to go in later in the winter, I believe. It seems I have heard you can plant some perennial plants in the fall, but I can't locate the information.  Any ideas here would be much appreciated.  

Barb
