What to plant in this very sunny bed?

[WellTidy]

Our front garden is south facing, and we have a bed that is 1 foot deep and about 10 feet long. It runs underneath our bay window.

We've previously had several photinia in there, which I had to dig up when we had our windows replaced and they didn't survive. We replaced them with five evergreen viburnum (I think Viburnum tinus French White), interspersed with spring and summer bulbs, but the viburnum isn't liking the strong sun so the leaves are very scorched and the plants are not growing at all.

I need something that will love the sun, flowers (I've ruled out euonymous and photonia again), and is evergreen so that it looks decent all year round. It doesn't have to grow to form a hedge type look (as I quite link interspersing with bulbs in spring and late summer), but it must stay low as the window starts at about 2 feet above the ground.

I wonder whether I am asking the impossible and should go with lots of something completely sun loving, like lavender, or lots of an evergreen with interest, like pittosporum Elizabeth (variegated, pink tinged).

Hi I have a very sunny south facing front garden and evergreen wise I have several hebes, French lavender, large grasses (not pampas!) saxifraga, and then red crocosmia, red Valerian, sedum (different bed), acquilegia and a few others I cannot remember the names of!

I've not really watered anything at the front this summer and they've all survived and thrived (gravel front though) but they've been in a couple of years now so quite established

I have this in my very sunny front garden

Thank you Ginger. i love that salvia, I didn’t know you could get evergreen ones, and that is really lovely lovely.

Does anyone have escallonia pink elle in full sun? I have it in half sun, half shade and it is lovely. If it doesn’t scorch on the leaves in full sun, i think it fits the brief.
