Need small space ideas

I am going to set up a flower garden in my front yard this year. And I need some perenial flower Idea's ore bulb ideas for a small space no more than 2 or 3 feet across and 2 feet wide. thanks

Light exposure? Soil condition? Watering options?

Not a lot of room there, so I would go with a mixed planting that gives multi-season interest. How about a salvia like East Friesland with a purple leafed huechera. Drop in an echinacea like Kim's knee High or B's Knees. Plant a non invasive anemone like anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' for fall color. In fall, plant some early blooming daffodil bulbs in the space towards back so fading leaves will get covered up as perennial vegetation grows.
