Have a look at Concolvulus cneorum - very pretty, low-growing plant.

Low-growing? After a few years it could be a metre high. I'm also not
sure how salt-resistant its leaves are.

Really? I've always known it as salt tolerant and growing to about
50cm, though the height will vary according to location, as with all
plants. It won't take the coldest gardens but in a south coast garden
which is sunny, it's worth a try, imo.

Nope. Sorry. It won't take significant cold, and starts suffering
at -5 Celsius, which isn't particularly cold. But I agree that it's
worth trying in that location - it IS lovely, all year.
