  • Carex evergold, Libertia perigrinans, Festuca Elijah Blue, Phormium Platts Black

    As a starter, all low growing, evergreen, maintenance free and colourful year round.

    I will throw in for good measure, Lavandula ang. Munstead, a proper dwarf lavender, or Lavandula Devon Compact if you want something more fancy. Although lavanders do need a bit of work on them from time to time.
  • Hi

    Depends on your budget although I'd think about dwarf azalea's/rhodies - if you can get away with them in your soil, eunonymus fort - emerald gaeity (ground cover & e/green), hemerocallis, I'd also put in some allium bulbs if you can get away with them just for a spot of summer colour, hydrangea (would mean pruning once a yr) and possibly viburnum davidii or winter flowering vib or small hebes.
  • Rubus tricolor perhaps.
  • How about 2x Taxus baccata 'Auria' either side of the sign as thes keep a very tight colom habbit. With some eunonymus fortunii ' Emerald Gaeity' along the front of the sign and the cotoneaster horizontalis along the frount of that.

    A few different colours, textures and different intrest at different times of the year throught berrys etc.

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Planning to discuss a few of these options with the client and pick up on what they like. Fab.
