There are actually two levels of the edging; the lower plant is a culinary herb called Satureja douglasii - Yerba Buena; meaning "good herb" in Spanish. It is very aromatic and when touched or stepped on emits a lovely minty fragrance. The upper level is a white carpet rose. Happy gardening!

Those are 6" X 6" Redwood posts but Cedar or pressure treated douglas fir can work too. Finished size is about 5-1/2" by 5-1/2". The post cap is made by a company called Woodway. Sorry to say my knowledge of metric sizes is pretty lame!
