I need a plan!

I live in Pennsylvania (5b) just north of Pittsburgh. I'm an avid gardener but have never grown heaths or heathers. I don't know where to start! There are so many varieties.

The location will be an island bed which already has three (about 4 ft each) Bakerii Spruce, which are very blue in color (background) and a (6 ft) Goldrush Dawn Redwood (foreground). The island can be large and is not confined by space limitations.

I need advice on which varieties would work best, how many I need, and even how to position them to make an interesting flow rather than spotty, patchwork looking mess.

The area is moist, so I know I will have to mound. It is a sunny location.
