RE: Edgings

I thought of more "edgers" as I walked around my own yard yesterday.
Hopefully you can grow them successfully in your climate:

Heuchera (coral bells)
Artemisia (particularly 'Silver Mound,' but also Valarie Finnis and Powis
Castle)
Dwarf iris
Campanulas
Catmints (some lower growing varieties)
Lavender (also low growers)

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.

I AM in shape.  ROUND is a shape!
