Ivy1: good point about leaving room. I am just not very patient, I guess!

Andy: I also like the overflowing look. Your border is gorgeous! And I have one of those brown dog-flowers too, just the dwarf version! (he's actually a french bulldog--here he is inspecting the front yard)
I'll have to try filling things in this year. But this will be the 3rd year I've had those other plants, and they haven't filled in anything like your garden. Maybe Ivy1 is right and this is the year they'll "leap"...but I still think they'd thank me for a bit more sun.
