Trailing flowering shrub suggestions

[MotherOfDragonflies]

We’ve just put up a gabion wall to deal with some level changes in our kitchen garden. I now have a small triangular space into which I need to plant something that will trail downwards over the edge of some steps.

doesn’t need to be edible although this is where all the edibles are.

I wondered about trailing rosemary but does anyone have any other suggestions. The space isn’t big, probably about 60cm for each side of the triangle.

If it doesn't have to be a shrub I immediately visualised corydalis lutea, which loves tumbling in walls and crevices and steps. Likewise aubretia and alyssum along the same lines. All three and you'll have lots of colour/flower interest.

Also, Helianthemums, which come in a variety of colours, and produce successional flowers in early summer.

Thanks both. I’m enjoying looking up suggestions!

how big would you want it to get? My worry is that it might get in the way of the steps if it were to grow too large. Rosemary can really get huge!

Thyme

I’ll take a photo when it stops raining. The space isn’t huge but the steps are wide so it can get reasonably big.

My training Rosemary didn't survive the hard frosts we had.

What about Periwinkle? All of mine survived harsh weather and look lovely, especially variegated ones I have.

I have a foxtail rosemary which is thriving but is in a south-facing position next to the house.
Other options could be creeping thyme, vinca minor, strawberries, dead nettle, or bugle?

I'd go for erigeron. The flowers last for ages and it looks beautiful.

Not edible, but variagated periwinkle look lovely trailing over a gabion wall.

For edible, how about a trailing campanula such as Campanula poscharskyana? If it likes it there it will spread like crazy, and the leaves and flowers are edible.
