Sweet williams, Lavender, but would need more width? Or you could sow flower seed which might find a purchase in this very narrow gap such as Aubrieta, Love-in-a-mist.

f it were me I would make it a foot wider and plant English lavender or even a mixture of whites pink and mauve lavender because they need no watering after the first year, or Sweet williams but if you make the bed wider you have lots of plant choice Skimmias could look good to?
