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?

Hi again, Gasdoctor,

For early season try Veronica prostrata 'Georgia Blue' (sun, but will
tolerate *slight* shade);
______"______ Chiastophyllum oppositifolium (soft yellow flowers,
dappled shade)
______"______ Lithospermum (Lithodora) diffusum 'Heavenly Blue' (sun,
but prefers acid soil. Will tolerate neutral soil)
______"______ Helianthemums, in variety (many colours, but not blues.
Full sun)

For mid-to-late season try Dianthus deltoides (pink-red flwrs, full sun);
_______"__________ Erigeron karvinskianus 'Profusion' (white-pink-red
flwrs, full sun)
_______"__________ Convolvulus (mauritius) sabatius (irresistable blue
flowers. Not invasive, but borderline hardy. Full sun)

Look at various hardy geraniums. They 'spill' rather than 'trail' over, but
are able to cope with sun and shade.
If you have plenty of space, look at some of the Persicarias.

Hope this helps.
