This is a massive ask, which is probably why you've had no replies so
far. For Spring, pulmonarias and hellebores, for Summer geraniums
(e.g. Johnson's Blue and Ann Foulkard), ajugas, Alchemilla Mollis. BUT
are you sure you only want perennials and only low-growing? There are
so many bulbs, shrubs and taller perennials that would make it into an
interesting border rather than something kind of dumpy. With only
perennials the bed will look rubbish in the late Autumn and Winter. You
also need to consider your soil type.



He's had no replies? Really?
