Thank you both for the replies.

I've been afraid of getting plants too tall. I've bought plants that say 3-4 feet, but they end up towering over me, thus being more prone to flop. Most of the time it doesn't bother me but in the front I am trying to avoid the jungle look too much.

Yes, Wild Geranium is native and I have patches around here and there. So far, they are rather low to the ground, but it was only their first year. Some put out more leaves, even after blooming. Bloodroot also grows here. I find this stage of the plant interesting.
