    like this as an idea (especially the trailing plant). Can anyone help identify? Guessing some kind of grass at the top?

    Spider Plants at the top. Trailing plants (front) are Creeping Jenny.

        Silver trailing plant left hand rear is Silver Helichrysum (was waiting outside house for OH & daughter when posting other 2, but they came out before posting 3rd).

          Any idea what these shrubs are, and can I cut them back now?
