250L Planted Tank, Plant Ideas/suggestions Please.

[TaurineLittle]

Hey guys, so I was starring at my newly planted tank waiting for the testkit to shows its colours (cycling the filter atm) and I thought to my self, 'I wouldn't mind some sort of frame to my tank.' So I'm thinking of different plants I could use on the sides of my tank, I have a background which is broken up by some driftwood, but I think I need a 'frame', on the sides to break up the open space of hairgrass...
 

Thats the tanks progress so far, but I was wanting some ideas of plants I can use for the sides. I don't want tall growing plants or any grasses like Vals or Sag But something with a broad leaf kinda like a crypt or something similar would be cool I think.
 
Or even if people could give their opinions on having broad leaved plants when almost all of them in there already are 'needle leaf'.
Thanks in advance

Bacopa Caroliniana? Has the potential to grow tallish but the leaves are broad?
Smells like mint but underwater, I love it
Can also produce little blue flowers if left to grow out of water.
 
Commonly known as the Water Hyssop - would take some researching but mine has done well in higher temperatures of up to 28, very adaptable.
 
Maybe an Echinodorus Rose? 
 
*shrug* I'm awful at recommending plants  
I suggest having a look at Tropica's A-Z - http/www.tropica.com/en/plants/plant-list-a-z.aspx

Haha no worries , they are some pretty nice suggestions though. Really tempted to try out the Bacopa Caroliniana just to have minty water
Loving the Echinodorus Rose, might have to see if I can source some for a trial run in the tank
 
I'm in no rush for plants as the tank is still cycling, but I wouldn't mind trying out a few of these plants and seeing how I go
