I am thinking about this, but so far I've got about an acre of native wildflowers and the roots get deep.
Here's an image I found that shows what the roots are like of many native flowers that were found in our state.

I found this pretty plant that is fairly short.

And judging from this picture, the roots would be somewhat shallow.

If I plant this, I am going to chicken wire them because too many things have gotten mowed over! And this is slow growing.
