We have been rather liberal with our requirements for the following list. Any perennial that had a mature height of about a foot (many bloom stems are taller) and didn't have an invasive nature, had a good chance at the list. Some of the plants are spreading, ground cover types but they are ones that are easy to control - and look good cascading over rocks.
