I quite like the Aubretia and the Saponaria ocymoides.

I am in Surrey and the garden is south facing so the walls in question
get the sun for most of the day.

I think the soil is standard/chalky. I seem to be digging up lumps of
chalk periodically and haven't found any clay yet.

Thanks

James


Hi James,

Thanks for filling in the blanks. Since you're on such well-draining soil
with sun, you might also consider Erigeron karvinskianus. It is smothered
with masses of tiny daisies, white-aging-thro'-pink-to-crimson. Mine start
flowering in May and go on and on through November - even a few daisies over
Christmas. It needs tidying up in Spring, but is glorious. I am always
being asked for spare plants by admiring friends and passers-by. Well worth
your consideration.
