There are two ways to use Armerias if you have that many. Plant en-masse to create a definite statement, or hold out and stick them in any left over gaps after the 'middle' height plants are put in. If you are keeping your border size the same, I think to work out which borders receive the most sun, which borders have the least amount. Then move any plants accordingly or source new plants for the bare areas.
You have a few shrubs and spreading type plants like Japanese Anemones, you do need to think about when they flower and what fades and what plants rejuvenates after after being cut back.
I think your borders need strappy leaves for contrast. When not in flower, the leaves still can add interest and instant height. Think about introducing Hemerocallis, Iris, Libertias, Sissyrinchiums, Crocosmias and Liriopes.
Finally, you can never over-do more compost and manure, and your soil will improve more when you throw more on top.

Thanks
Im going to hold out and fill gaps with the thrifts.
The border with the hibiscus receives the most sun. I will be keeping borders the same size.
I will look up them plants.
I will continue to add more compost. My dad always says look after the soil and the plants will look after themselves.
I will have a play about and add some pics later. X
