Thank for the suggestions. The lavender and wormwood might suit. I'm also
very interested in these:

Aegopodium Variegatum
Dianthus Tiny Rubies
Isotoma fluviatilis
Thymus coccineus
Delosperma cooperi (hardy ice plant)
Vinca minor (periwinkle)

Does anyone know any pros and cons of the above? Are any unsuitable for
poor, alkaline, dry soil and full sun?

Thanks..

Jim

Periwinkle is a cheap low risk choice for a tough spot; tolerates poor
conditions; fast evergreen coloniser, minimum maintenance, tough as old
boots.
I prefer vinca major, the two "old " ones with large leaves and single
blue flowers, one is dark green leaf and the other handsomely variegated.
