Boundary Edging

[iggymiggy]

I would like some advice as to what to put as a low border edging between our garden and our neighbours it gets sun in the early morning but loses it by lunchtime in mid summer. I did have lavender hedging for 2 years but it has failed to sprout this year so I have removed it. Would like to have something with a bit of colour and not growing too high if possible, any ideas would be very welcome.
Have had a border hedge of lavender in the back garden for 5 years and that has already started healthy new growth but does get sun practically all day

Box, immediately springs to mind for a low hedge or perhaps Lonicera nitida.

hardy fuchsia (magelanica) lovely flowers, hard as nails, loved by bees and very prunable once established. There is a golden leaved version (aurea) a white flowered one, Hawkshead, my absolute favourite and a slightly less hardy pale pink called Knight’s Pearl.
