Answer: Hi Caitlin,  This is a very local issue: you simply must seek advice from local experts – eg the local plant nursery or even advice from local people as to which plants they use for this purpose in your area. These people will know which plants do this job well in your area and which plants are environmental weeds as well. There are isues of your climate, local microclimates and local soils etc. Good luck.  Don
