Once I got the hang of it I started planning for lots of bloom season. So that when one thing stopped blooming something else would start up and the garden would always be interesting. I put the sections near and around each other but they were mostly seperate. The fact that there is a lot of terracing here and raised beds made it easy to be able to use this plan.
For instance looking from the sidewalk to the front yard. Look at the right side. There are roses and lilies in sections, Tall beared iris in sections and daylilies in sections. Also spring bulbs of daffs and tulips. Bloom starts from the bulbs goes to the TB iris then roses then daylilies. By the time the daylilies are finishing up the roses rebloom in August. Similiar type idea in the other side of the yard.
In fact I use the same plants all over the place. Bulbs, Daylilies, lilies, roses,TB and Siberian iris and shrubs along with honeysuckle vines are the backbone of my gardens. Add lots of annuals which I love like zinnias. I have lots of zinnia areas and one they start blooming they never stop.
I do have perrenials and have managed them in a few places. Ones that really work for me are Catmint. Love Catmint and Hummingbird mints. Coneflowers , butterfly weeds, columbine and very few others. The garden really does look wonderful now and it is very much my own style.
