Hi , can anyone recommend some planting ideas for my rather empty rock / plant border . Heavy clay soil which gets the sun for most of the day . Gets very dry in the sun and very wet in the rain . Currently there are a few hebe,s some lady's mantle and creeping geraniums but not much else . When we brought the house it was just weeds , now they have been removed I'm excited to get planting , but I'm struggling for ideas . Any suggestions appreciated .

    Looks nice, if it is a slope, it would be nice to stick to plants that are moundy, like azaleas, viburnum davidii, cistus, woody potentillas heather,. You might want to incorporate some sand or gravel whilst you have it so bare, then you can add perennials to cover the different seasons.
