Hi there ~

Neat thread....Ok, to start I like Helianthemum (Sunrose) for the front of sunny borders....evergreen, mounding plant 8-12" tall, 12-18" wide, and covered in flowers for a long time late spring, thru mid-summer....shear back and they push fresh foliage and sporadic rebloom till frost....Nepeta 'Little Tich" is a nice mounder....purple flowers all summer......Hardy Geraniums are great....many, many are neat mounders, lovely foliage, long-flowering, and many have great fall color as well....some of the Hebes make nice mound of great foliage, and the flowers are a nice plus.....

Pic shows a section of my sunny border with 2 different Helianthemum - 'Ben Ledi' and 'Cerise Queen' I am looking for other pics to jog my memory of what else I have used in border fronts...

Great thread!!!
