Maybe something like this? I hadn't considered a broadleaf sedge. This one grows to 12" high. http://www.epicplants.com/tagView.asp?ProductID Trunc=906-38 |

So are we planning on watering after all? |

I'm trying to get drought tolerant plants for the all sun gardens that get scorched in the summer. Also, this one is by the deck, to I can always grab the watering can and water it that way instead of lugging the hose. |

How about you move the compost to the side, add cement blocks on the ground next to the railing and move the Barbeque down there? Then I would enlarge the flowerbed and continue it on the other side. Remember that any plant or shrub can easily be moved to create a new design. Even if a flowerbed is fairly empty for awhile, it can look nice if edged and kept weeded. I would get the bed in the exact shape etc that you want it, before considering what to plant. Often the shape of the bed helps dictate what would look the best. Have fun! |

I don't think she can move the compost bins to the side because there's a cement fireplace rough there. I like the rest of your ideas, Rosy! Let's see what the Naysayer says though.
