I presume you are in the U.K. so I don't know what plant selection you have but I'll give it a shot based upon the USA has. Potentilla, blooms all summer, deciduous, Euonymous, evergreen, will spread, Cotoneaster, semi-evergreen, will also spread, Juniper I like Blue Pacific, and then mix in some perennials.
