Ive got a some raised borders approx 9-12 inches high(and some
garden vouchers to spend), one in the sun and one in the shade.

I want something that flowers and trails over the sides

Either annuals or periannials, i dont mind.

Any suggestions?


Aubretia??

Cerastium (snow in summer) Nemesias or Diascias. Depending on

where
you live, they might come through a winter. IME, once you have
Cerastium, you have it for ever.


Let's reinforce the warning about cerastium! I've used it in very
unfavourable places, and find it delightful; but in good conditions
it really will become a weed. By "unfavourable places" I mean to
break up the line where a path meets the bottom of a terrace wall or
sleepers retaining a raised bed, that kind of thing.
