Question
I live in Northwest Florida.  I have an area that I am planning to fill with small rocks or stones and I would like to put some plants in that will not get large.  The area will be run along the back of my house, will face south and will be 22" deep.  I would like to plant a mixture of flowering and non-flowering plants, but most important to me is that the plants stay small.  Everything we have planted in front of the house (facing north) has grown tremendously, so I am concerned that whatever I plant in an area that is 22" deep will stay reasonably small.  Do you have any suggestions or can you direct me on further research that I can do?

THANK YOU!
