Plant suggestions please
 

Hi

I'd be grateful for any planting suggestions for a new border. It runs along
the side of a new driveway & is directly south facing & in full sun. Being
in the front garden, it will get less attention than the plants in the back
& probably a bit less watering! so ideally some sort of Ground Cover
planting mixed with some evergreen "architectural" plants.

The border's slightly raised - by the height of one railway sleeper - new
ones, not reclaimed.

Thanks in advance of any assistance

We need to know more than that. Please name the nearest mountain or
describe your winter underwear.

Briefly, in the case of the latter. ;-)

Hmmmm... yes, should have mentioned that - Nearest mountain is probably
Snowdon - about 300 miles away, & winters are fine in Berkshire, Southern
England
