If everything is potted then you don't really have to worry about soil type as you can control it. But you might want to err on the side of things that will do OK if they dry out.
But yeah. There are a lot of plants.
Jumping in as a novice/idiot with a question:
New house has a (very) small area in front of it, facing north-east, for planters and one or two bigger pots; unsurprisingly the back yard (paved and walled, but paving will be redone with materials as yet to be decided) faces south-west.
Are there any go-to websites or guides for figuring out what grows well depending on direction?
I've googled it, but almost feel spoiled for choice/have option paralysis.
Bonus points for things that look nice and don't need much maintenance :)
