Garden Plant Pots

I am not a gardener but I do appreciate a nice-looking garden. I have a very busy schedule which necessitates the need for low maintenance. Can you suggest a variety of plants, ground cover and shrubs for Zone 5a? I live on a moraine and most of my area is in a shady northern exposure. Ideally I’d also like to mix in a few plants that will keep away mosquitoes and other biting insects. Thanks in advance.

Planting a garden bed can be done in a small area on a porch or on a large plot of land, but variety is key to create a visually pleasing design.

I know nothing about gardening - hence asking on here. We have just moved in and have a rectagular heavy plant pot in our garden and want something to plant in it!

We want something that would grow quickly to fill the whole pot and like spill out (sorry i dont know the gardening term! and ideally look good through out the year.

Can anyone who knows about plants - help.

Why do some flowers grow back year after year, whilst others have to be grown fresh from seed each year?

nice smells
