Extreme drainage issues

There’s a fairly significant drop on two sides of my garden, which is also on a slope, so some parts of my garden are extremely well drained.

I have a 10 x 3 m flower bed, which is in the driest part of the garden, that I’m looking to fill and am hoping for some suggestions for what might work here.

Some more specifics:

  • the soil is neutral and reasonable quality
  • the bed gets sun all day long
  • wind speeds can be an issue at times
  • there are some nice views beyond this bed, so I don’t really want anything higher than 1.5-1.8 m high

The main things that are doing well at the moment are roses, bulbs (tulips, alliums etc) and ornamental thistles. But there’s got to be more!
