The silver-leafed plant is probably Artemesia which is indeed rather invasive and better off grown somewhere that you can control it by mowing around it.

Fingers crossed for Agastache! I've planted the orange hummingbird hybrids but have given up on them being reliably hardy.
Later I'll post a photo of an Artimesia plant that I purchased at a garden club plant sale. The leaves on the purchased plant terminate in a square shape, and have a sharp angular tooth. The nearly dead sample I have of the plant in the photo has more of a rounded end and is smooth. Stay tuned!
