Ideas for border
in Plants
Evening,
I have just finished digging over and adding 300ltr of well rotted manure to improve this bed as it has become too dry/poor and the old heuchera that were in there were well past their best.

I have just finished digging over and adding 300ltr of well rotted manure to improve this bed as it has become too dry/poor and the old heuchera that were in there were well past their best.
So, I’m looking for some nice ideas which will work well here against a wall. It gets sun at the moment between 8ish-1ish. The door isn’t used but I think relatively short plants would be best, with maybe something a little taller either side. Last time I had something medium height, it leaned away from the wall and smothered the heuchera in front of it so something that stayed upright would be good. A bed of smaller plants (height of door ledge) would be absolutely fine though.
The plant in the foreground is a Geum totally tangerine.
I plant for pollinators/insects so anything that would help them would be perfect.
It’s about 3m x 75cm.
Many thanks.

There are lots of low growing Campanulas to choose from too, C poscharskyana is one to avoid as it is very strong growing, plenty more in the GC's. The tiny sisyrinchium Blue eyed grass, has a sword shaped leaf for a contrast.
I love Helianthemum Ben Moor[Helianthemum's come in lots of different colours] needs
cutting back after flowering and will eventually spread .
Thyme Foxley Sisyrinchium Biscutella look lovely with a warm red Heuchera[you may need to water this in dry weather] .
I would look at some of the rockery plants for inspiration. Anything more than a few inches tall will lean. If the wall gets hot you may struggle with most plants.
For height I would consider an evergreen such as Euonymous Green pillar and clip it. Not good for pollinators but perhaps a place for something to hide over winter.
These are various ideas, I think you need to keep your choices simple have a colour scheme and perhaps repeat your plants along the border to bring it all together.
Gardening is so exciting I wet my plants.

Maybe one of the Euonymus such as Sliver Queen, but bear in mind the rain shadow from the wall.
