Suggestions for flowers in a strawberry jar?

I took the herbs and strawberries I had in clay "pocket planters"- also called strawberry jars, and planted them in pots where they would have much more room to grow and bear well.
Any ideas for small PERENNIAL flowers or plants that would stay smallish, to put in the jar?
I don't want to do annuals because I don't want to have to replant every season.
A couple of little thymes would be OK, but I'd really like to do something with flowers. And small English ivies.
The pots/jars have 6 side pockets and one big opening at the top. Thanks ! [flower]

Yeah I think it is the same .. not really sure. all I know is it is perrenial and it will cascade down ... if you mix it with creeping phlox it would be pretty .. never mind different bloom times..
