We have two triangular shaped flower beds (approx 6 msq) as part of a new house build which are located in crevices between the house and footpath. That side of house is north facing. As a soil depth of more than 8 inches won’t be possible (due to house foundation, etc), can you suggest suitable planting within this bed with shallow roots – ideally something low maintenance, perennial, purple/blue blooms and if any evergreen foliage possible?

There are lots of small shrubs, such as small hebe, rock rose, small cistus, lavender, that will grow in 8 inches of soil, but there must be drainage.
Also lots of perennial flowers, such as campanula, persicaria, aubrieta, iberis and others.
