Thanks :)

So far I am thinking buddlejas on the back, ferns in the middle and lavender on the front, do you think this will work?

How wide is the border?

Buddleias grow in to very large bushes.

Depending on available space ...... cistus and potentilla love the sun and will flower until October. Also rock roses would be ideal as low growing plants.

It is a wide border but i would be going for a dwarf one :)
