5cm Max height?

It can't hurt to try.

Looks like a lot could be done with it. I have a couple similar plants I'll be working this season.

Some can be kept smaller in small pots.

Do it!

What are good other accent plants which have established awesomeness?

It is a diuretic so the answer is yes I read up on that plant a bit as it looks like and is a "stepable" plant and that is of some interest to me. In the States and Europe they say you can walk on it and it can be used as a replacement for grass on a lawn. That being said you should be able to cut, trim, shape it. I think that was the original question.
