Don't forget penstemons, salvias, verbena bonariensis, foxgloves, scabious, geraniums, spirea and phlomis. Gaura and phlox are good too, and you can also try a small viburnum. The scent when its in flower is gorgeous, and the same goes for tree lillies. I agree with blairs that a matching border would look good.
Great only thing is i haven't a clue on growing from seed
Three years ago, neither did I - but you can use this site to ask what to do every step of the way - much better than books ! (Although if you want to read up on it too Carol Klein's "Grow your own garden" and the Readers Digest book of Propagating are good)
yes you can have one Coys. I wouldn't go for a potentially huge one. Hawthorn makes a good small tree and not worries with poisonous berries, you can eat them. But you'd have to be desperate to bother with them.
I'd have it down the end away from the house where it would serve instead of the parasol on the table (eventually). But I prefer a shady sitting place, you may not

Coys get on the seed exchange. A lot of us have annuals to give away for the price of a stamp.

And many are so simple to grow. All you need to know is what time of the year, scatter on the ground, cover with a little compost, water and wait!
Some plants, like aguilegias, just have to see the soil to grow lol.
