What flowers should I plant along my garden path?

Hey I live in England and we're having unusually warm weather at the moment. I was wondering what would be the best plants to plant along my front garden path. The garden is quite small so I don't want any bushes like roses because they can seem quite overwhelming. We had Lavender there before which was nice but attracted a lot of bees. Any suggestions?

we have Limnanthes douglassi (Poached egg/Scrambled egg flower) growing along the edges of our paths (in Scotland). Nice green ferny foliage, low growing/spreading and fragrant white flowers with a yellow centre all summer. we're also trying Linaria purpurea (Purple toadflax) this year too: elegant spires of spiky green leaves topped with small, unusually-shaped purple flowers.





Limnanthes is an annual, Linaria is perennial; seeds available from garden centres or mail order. Limnanthes plants often offered as summer bedding in garden centres too.

Reply:I am from the U.S. so I'm not sure if you have these, but Hostas are good for paths. They are a foliage, but sprout pretty purple flowers.

Happy growing!
