Trailing perennials to plant wall pockets

Hi,

Now that everyone has helped me narrow down my "steppable" plants in my new garden, I wonder if I could have your input on the plants I will put in a stone wall? The wall is about 3 feet high and 12 feet long; the stones are huge. I don't want yellow flowers. And I don't want anything too rampant to handle, though obviously I can reach every inch of a 3-foot wall, which helps.

Here is a list of things I've looked at. I certainly don't have room for all of these; I figured if people told me the ones they love best in their own walls,I could prioritize. An excellent local perennial nursery is going out of business and selling everything this Saturday (a very sad day). This will help me get ready. Here's the list:

Campanula cochlearifolia

Campanula elatinoides

Campanula portenschlagiana

Campanula poscharskyana

Delasperma kooperi

Delasperma kelaidis

Hens and chicks

Iberis Autumn Beauty

Oregano vulgare "Aureum"

Sedum rupestre Angelina

Sedum spurium fulda glow

Sedum Vera Jameson

Sedum dragonÂs blood

Veronica prostrate goldwell
