Angelica - Attractive, tall, back of border plant that can grow 6-8 feet tall.  The entire plant is edible and has a celery-juniper-musk smell and a licorice taste.  Seeds are used in baking, and leaves can be used in salads.  Roots are used in soups and stews.  Mainly used medicinally today for bronchial and digestive problems.

Caraway - Useful mid border plant with feathery leaves and cream white flowers.  Roots can be cooked like parsnips, seeds are used in baking, and leaves can be added to salads.   Medicinally mostly used for digestive and flatulence problems.

Evening Primrose - This useful, easy to grow back of border plant has lemon yellow flowers that open in early evening and close around mid-day.  The plant is edible root to top, with a pleasant mild lemon-pepper taste.  Medicinally, this is an important herb, with unique properties only found in a few other plants, providing well-documented relief for a wide variety of common ailments.

Foxglove - Tall, dramatic, and a beneficial insect magnet, Foxglove is an outstanding addition to any ornamental garden.  Don't even think about using it for food or medicine, however, as it is highly toxic.  Though it is a valuable herb medicinally, it to be avoided at all costs by amateurs because ingesting even small amounts can be deadly. 

Parsley - Considering it's excellent form, easy growth requirements, and nutritional and medicinal qualities, it's a surprise that we don't see Parsley growing everywhere.  It is rich in vitamins and minerals and is used medicinally for a variety of conditions.  It also lends itself well to cooking and is used worldwide in a wide variety of dishes.
