Duster, I bought a package called Pro Landscaper 3D a couple of years ago when I was landscaping my yard and it helped alot. It has over 1500 varieties of plants from annuals to trees and tells what conditions and zones they grow best with pictures. Only drawback is it does not handle slopes very well. My guess is most of the the reputable software houses have pretty good packages now.
