OK.. i will not give you plants because i don't know what works in your area.. but i would suggest first pick a focal point.. can you put a water feature from the top of your bed down to the bottom.. do you have a favorite shape of plant? with a higher bed it will have more of a dramatic affect.. i would use all sizes of plants.. something tall for affect, soften whatever make the bed by plants that would grow down ward. More info would be good, shade? sun? whats around it? what is the bed made of? Try to get a plan, even sketch you beds and what is around it and take the info down to your nursery.. they will be the best help of all!!

Once again...PLEASE tell us what USDA zone you are in or at least where you live. Can't make plant recommendations w/o this information!

Ok, got your message but unfortunately I'm not familiar with southern zones. I could suggest some low-growing junipers like Blue Star (a bluish mounding habit, about 1' tall) or a Blue Rug that will spread horizontally and grow down over the edge of the bed. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the spreaders because, although they are slow-growing, you can plant them quite far apart and they will fill in.

Other than that, try your local nursery for knowledgeable advice and suggestions.
