Hey all,
We finished building a year ago today, and have finally gotten around to putting some plants in the front yard.
We had a lanscape plan drawn up for us by a friend, and we mostly stuck to it (the stone letterbox was going to cost a fortune so we let it go).
We have a deck sitting on top of two layers of kapunda bluestone. What I need is an idea of what to plant in the spaces between the rocks.
I hope you get what I mean from the pictures!

A view across the front - looking from the driveway to the neighbours

Oleria (something, we couldn't get the ramalosa but thought this looked closest to it)

Then a big empty space for some Dianella 'Little Jess' when we can find it.
Then some 'brown-eyes' as my husband delighted in calling them. Leacophyta brownii

Then some more Hardenbergia violacea "Happy Wanderer" in purple.

So here are the spaces in between the rocks looking along the deck

Then there are these spaces around the steps that lead up from the driveway to the deck and the front porch.

We are still keen to plant the Pyrus Calleryana either side of the deck with the Dianella Tassie Red's under them.
So I guess I am looking for a native plant that likes full sun that will fill the spaces and hide the bottom of the deck but not hide the rocks.
Thanks
