Aloha,
I LOVE Dayna's idea of the Nasturtium. NOT ONLY are there a number of varieties with leaf and color characteristics to suit almost anyone's palette, for the most part they're edible and make a GREAT salad or salad addition with their peppery taste ~ They're also very easy to control. They're best left to grow on their own but an occasional thinning and sometimes replacing 'leggy' individuals keeps them looking their best! They are NOT a hedge and therefore don't much like being hacked up with a hedge trimmer. They'll grow in low soft mounds with GREAT leaf color AND flowers as well, with very little care. I've speced these in quite a few landscapes I've designed over the years ~ ~ ~ Aloha ~
