Consider planting Stepables instead.  Stepables are a line of low growing plants that tolerate foot traffic.  Some can be walked on regularly and others fill in quickly around stepping stones and patios.  There are Stepables for sun and for shade and many with dainty but sturdy blooms.  Come and see our complete selection and let us know which ones work best in your garden.
