    It would help if you gave us more information: sun / shade, soil type etc.
    Plus you are asking for quite a lot.
    There are ashtrays of emulsion,
    for the fag ends of the aristocracy.

    Some white hardy geraniums flower for long periods, but not really that long.
    If you combine a few different plants it would be easier.
    You could add dianthus [if the site is suitable] and things like pelargoniums for summer - again if the site's suitable 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I should have 🙈🙈
    its definitely full sun all day 
    not sure on soil type as never tested it 
    I’ve few gaps in border at moment I have are climbers on fence 
    plus mix of grasses , crocosmia lucifer,orange tangerine and couple of other which unfortunately not sure what names are 
    so hoping to fill gaps 
  • I have a white flowered potentilla that starts flowering about May and does continue flowering for a few months and Moroccan daisy (Rhodathemum hosmariense) might be another option but I think mine might not have made it through this winter after getting through its first winter OK.

    The fuchsia and potentilla would probably be too big, unless the gaps are big....
    That fuchsia especially, gets very large in the right conditions.

    Well there are quite a few...
    Parahebe 'Avalanche'....
    Geranium 'Cream Chocolate'...
    Erigeron karvinskianus..
    Cistus 'Thrive'...
    Petrorhagia 'Pink Scarlet'... which is actually white..
    Gypsophila 'Festival White'...
    etc.. all from May till late.. 

    ..quite where you get these from in this day and age I'm not sure..
    ..and don't forget Annuals, like white bedding Begonias and Busy Lizzies... only snobs turn their noses up at these...

    75cm is the full grown height of the first potentilla with white flowers I checked on the RHS website and the one I have would be at about that size for the last few years. The one I have is also a lot smaller in width since there are hebe shrubs growing either side of it. Not what I would describe as too big for a lot of situations. I think I got it as a 30cm tall pot plant (actually posted a video of it when planted on 52seconds into this video clip)so I thought it would easily fit in the low to medium height plant requested in the opening post. Maybe your garden soil is extra fertile fairygirl.
