There are so many and it depends on how much space you have; height you want to achieve, etc. I love lavendar, daisies, coreopsis, columbine, Russian sage and native grasses. I wouldn't necessarily buy from them because my experience when I did was that the plants were too tiny for the amount I paid, but I've found www.highcountrygardens.com to be a site with a lot of plant ideas for growing in our conditions. Trees are not my forte; I have two 30 year old cottonwoods that are dying; would never have planted them; too short lived. I have two equally old maples that are fine, but I would certainly check a local nursery for more detailed info for something that would thrive in your area.
