Marie, that sounds just lovely.  I intersperse both culinary and 
medicinal herbs in my perennials beds, too.  I have become 
especially fond of rose campion, though I know it is a prolific 
self-sower.  The silvery, furry leaves do similar blending 
things as stachys but I also like the height and those hot, dark 
pink/magenta blossoms.

I'm not real big on bulbs, but I believe the rest of those are 
all hardy in Z5.
