Is there any particular way I should plant these plants?

We’re stripping our lawn and putting down some ground cover and pollinator plants. In zone 6a-7b focusing on drought and sun tolerant plants.

Pictured in the front row are creeping thyme and a sedum (both planted as ground covers already)

Behind that we have a mix of English lavender, candytuft, penstemons, and some type of salvia.

We’ll probably get some more plants, possibly sage, asters and maybe some cone flowers for the back area we’re still working on. Open to suggestions as well.

Anyways, I’m wondering if there’s anything I should take into consideration when planting them, aside from giving them enough space? Should I try grouping like plants together, or mixing them up.

I know some plants do well planted as companions, and others less so, but I’m not sure about any of these plants.

Thanks!
