Basalite Concrete Products Hi Jenny,
It looks like petunias in the front and the taller red-leafed plant is a coleus. Both are annuals, which means they likely need to be replanted every spring. When you choose plants, you have to consider a lot of things, like what area you live in, what kind of sun the area gets, and what kind of drainage is in place.

Another option would be for you to change your wall! Have you looked at concrete walls? I think you would be amazing at what today's concrete walls look like. They come in beautiful colors and can be easy to put up (depending on how large your area is, some walls can be put up in a weekend)! Then you could plant some flowers that are right for your area/space. etc, and if you chose perennials, you could wait for them to grow in without having something unsightly showing while you wait. And they would grow in every year (plant once, not annually).

Good luck with your project!

Fullmer's Landscaping, Inc The Large Leafy plants with the Red veining are Caladiums. The pink in the rear is a Begonia. The front purplish-pink is a Petunia, the orange I think is an annual called Pentas, and the yellow in the foreground is Lantana. These are all Annuals, as Terrie said, requiring them to be replanted each year. Annuals live to bloom. It's like they know they've only got til frost to perform, so they usually bloom all summer long.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: English-Style Gardens
Keep flower beds contained. While the original landscapes were focused on greenery rather than color, flowers could and did make their way into the design. The difference between these flower beds and those of English landscapes' more enthusiastic cousins, cottage gardens, is the sense of order. The beds are neatly edged, both with the lawn and with bedding plants, and nothing is too riotous. Design tip: Adding masses of annuals in one color keeps the look more formal. Consider it a type of color blocking within your garden.
"It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must also react on one another." — Henri MatisseNormally in addition to situation and climate, basic color theory comes into play when selecting plants for a garden. Color selections can be harmonious, monochromatic or, as with Mastisse, complementary. The wonderful contrasts of colors in this border are heightened by the monotone evergreen planting behind.
