What to plant here?

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to plant in the tiered sleeper beds I have across the middle of my garden - or know anywhere that could help me? Got strawberries in just now but as much as I love the strawberries I hate having to net them. Looking for something more low maintenance, looks nice with a wee bit of colour and that is full hardy. We're south facing and quite exposed to sun but also wind and cold when the weather's not so good. Any ideas really appreciated.

Cotoneaster horizontalis
Low-growing juniper such as 'repanda'
Thyme
Hardy geraniums
Aubrieta

Lavender
Rosemary
Salvia - hot lips

I have these in my south facing exposed front garden.

Crocus.co.uk have ready made planting plans, expensive but inspirational. My terrace has alliums, euphorbia, Veronica, rudbeckia and some salvia caradonna all doing well but the germs I planted last year have all disappeared.

Tall grasses, prairie style planting with verbena bonariensis, cosmos, and cordylines, interspersed with lavender and cistus.
For spring, plant tall bulbs such as Alliums, Camassia, Crown Imperials and tall tulips and daffs.

Some really good ideas here, thank you! I love verbena bonariensis but it's probably too tall to go here - I've already got it in a bed to the side. The bees LOVE it! Salvia is a good shout. Didn't think about herbs too like thyme and lavender. I like wildlife friendly so they all tick that box too.
