Hi, I live in Ohio.. I think zone 5. I'd rather not have to dig anything up in the fall. i recently dug out a small round garden, and I have a brick retention wall up. Inside are hostas, catmint, hardy glads, red king crocosmia, dill, basil and parsley. I'd like to put something around the edges, to sort of fill it in a bit.. preferably low maintanance, that isn't expensive to plant a reasonable amount of. Any suggestions? Anything else that would look nice with the other plants is good too, doesn't just have to be the edge.
Also a suggestion for something to go in a big planter next to a swing in my backyard.. it will be mostly shade.

I suggest Ageratum for the edge of your garden. I buy them in flats each spring and they last until October they are green leaves and blue or pink flowers, they become bushy in form, and look amazing.
they cost about 12.99 to 14.99 a flat, I get them at Home Depot. As for your planter why not plant a Tomato plant, You can get cherry Tomato’s, of Beef steak Tomato’s. If you would rather have flowers, then Put in a bleeding heart, and it will come back every year for you. Have fun
