So many plants, so little room! 
Here’s a look at some 2012 picks of mine for the sunny garden.
Sedum 'Dazzleberry'
‘Dazzleberry’ sedum grows to 8 inches tall but 18 inches wide. The seed heads are between 6 and 8 inches wide. This is a lovely groundcover. Here’s a link for more complete information. Great Garden Plants I have not ordered from this place so I can’t personally vouch for their quality, however, I did some checking and they sound reputable. Always check locally first.
These next 2 plants, I think, compliment each other. The poppy is new, the veronica is not. The poppy ‘Paradiso’ grows to 26 inches tall and flowers in May and June with large papery pink flowers splashed with red. The veronica ‘Total Eclipse’ grows to 12 inches tall with intensly purple flower spikes and blooms from early to mid-summer. It’ll bloom during the time the poppies are blooming and then continue…

There’s a new Coreopsis in town that’s rated ”barely” to zone 4 but might be worth a try planted in a microclimate closer to your home.
Coreopsis 'Route 66'
Wouldn’t this be gorgeous with some bright yellow Yarrow or in front of some bright yellow daylilies!?!? This plant like it sunny, hot and dry.
