What about this Carex ... hardy evergreen with gold, cream and green foliage ... it'll set off the dark green foliage of your shrubs really well, and the soft way it will spill over the straight edges of the bed will contrast well and highlight the formal topiary of the shrubs.
That looks interesting You suggest I put one between the buxus and tree in either side? There is a fair bit of space Did want a bit of colour amongst all the green!

I would fill the entire space between the shrubs with lots of them. It would look luscious ... really contemporary design.

😇...you mean a few lined up in between,could probably get 2/3 in max...wouldn't it be too much of same thing and green and not enough colour?! 🤔 I've centred the other things right in between wall and sleepers Are these planted same way?
They will have much more impact grown en masse ... growing too many different plants together begins to look higgledy piggledy and a bit cottage garden, which isn't what you're looking for.

and although they're green, there are so many different greens ... and the different shapes and textures will reflect light differently.
Also, don't forget, flowers need deadheading otherwise they look untidy and bitty ... evergreen shrubs and grasses will give you the look I think you're after.
