Thanks for the info on moss and thyme, maybe I won't put it there afterall! I need something that hugs the ground, don't want anything over a couple inches because where I have it, it is a very small area and not much space between pond and the flagstones. I also have some Isotoma, I guess I will use that. I don't want anything with height because I have things in the background I do not want blocked. I finished poking dirt down around last night, so I think I can go ahead and add the dirt to the ring, get my flagstones leveled and plant.
I am adding a pic I took yesterday morning when the sun came up, you can see behind it, my vine fence which I have clematis on and soon the corkscrew vine will be leafing out & covering the whole fence. I cannot block that view, and to the left in the background but not showing up is my fountain. Eventually all the scalloped edging will be the flagstone.
Thanks again for your help everyone,
Donna
