Hi Sharon, lemongrass is a great option and it will keep the mosquitoes away too.
Your answer depends on a couple of things - since you live in a temperate zone. Are you planting in pots or in the ground - annual or perennial? Decorative grasses don't produce flowers, just seed heads. Many shrubs don't flower, either. Some flowers are not bee magnets. If you're planting in a bed - are there rabbits or other critters that will munch them?
One of the best ways I know for checking out plant options is the High Country Gardens website. You just plug in your Zone and the types of things you want and don't want - and a list pops up. You don't need to buy from them, but if you do, the plants are healthy. And, they won't send them until it's planting time for that type of plant in your Zone.
