Ivydene Gardens Evergreen Perennial Flower Shape Gallery: List of Perennials by Landscape Site - The Outdoor Room from Landscaping with Perennials by Emily Brown. 5th printing 1989 by Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-063-0 Emily Brown has been a member of the National Committee of the Garden Club of America as well as a founding member of the Filoli Gardens and an ardent supporter of the Srybing Arboretum in San Francisco. She is writing about perennials for use in America.

The Outdoor Room. "The day of the container plant has certainly arrived in 1989 with all manner of places to display it, such as loggia, lanai, atrium, gazebo. These have to some extent replaced the enclosed porches, conservatories, orangeries, sunrooms, vestibules and verandas of our forebears. Today the outdoor room is usually more outdoors, especially in the climates where outdoor rooms can be lived in many months of the year. In such areas, there are terraces everywhere; one may be just an enlarged entry way - another may be almost as big as the house, with several rooms created by dividers for sitting, sunning, or eating, as well as looking."

from Landscaping with Perennials by Emily Brown. 5th printing 1989 by Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-063-0
Her ideas about Perennials (a plant that lasts for more than 2 growing seasons) include Herbaceous Perennials and Evergreen Perennials, and most of the other plant types except Annuals and Biennials:-

vegetables (Asparagus - It is widely cultivated as a herbaceous vegetable crop, Crambe),
true sedge (Carex),
bamboo (Arundinaria),
subshrub (Eriogonum),
reed (Arundo),
shrubs (Artemisia - Hardy Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs, Rubus - Most of these plants have woody stems with prickles like roses),
"Mostly large shrubs or trees" (Aralia)
fern (Adiantum),
climber (Clematis) and
bulb (Lilium - genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs)
as well.

With a view to easing the task of selection here are lists of alpines most likely to thrive and flourish under certain easily defined conditions and for special purposes, which may be considered first choices, from Gardening with Alpines by Stanley B. Whitehead. Garden Book Club. Published in 1962. Alpine Plants for a Purpose:- Beginner's Choice for an All-the-year-round-show in SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER. Plants of Foliage Beauty. Alpines for Full Sun, Hot, Dry Positions. Alpines tolerant of Shade. Alpines for Dry Shade. Alpines tolerant of Lime or Chalk. Alpines readily raised from seed. Alpines for the damper places. Alpines for planting between Paving Stones. Scree Plants.
