Needs an artists eye to make it complete

I'm a Georgia girl needing help on deciding what to plant outside my screened in porch which is on the west side of the house and gets lots of afternoon sun.

This is what I presently have:

Encore Azalea's "Autumn Monarch"- Coral in color

Cape Plumbago-Jazmin Azul "Plumbago auticulata" - Hgt.4-5' and lavender or cool blue

Gold Mound Spiria

Rosemary - Upright variety

All of these are relatively small now.

I need some annuals or long blooming perennials to place in front of the above mentioned making them companions with eye opening interest.

Please help me make this look like a Southern Magazine shot.

Thank You

RE: Needs an artists eye to make it complete

Boy, I feel bad. I have seen your request for almost 2 weeks with no response. I wish I could help you, but I don't know anything about Southern Magazine or how to make your yard look like anything in it.

Unfortunately I think your request may have been too specific and nobody really knows what it is you are shooting for.

Any chance you could rephrase your request in less specific terms so more folks could understand the look you are trying to achieve?

Dear Username,

I didn't explain myself well enough. I was trying to get plants that would complement my foundation plants off my screened in porch. In the meantime I went out and bought a Cape Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata)dwarf,Coreopsis Enana Dwarf and some Pentas that complete my small area. Thank you for your response as I will be more specific next time.
