more herbacious – but buddleja’s & lilacs? You can get relatively small habit ones if you don’t fancy a 3m *4m monster! (but check the variety). Also hebbes and ceanothus? Someone else has said lavenders and I really agree.
Two perennials – fox gloves, heleniums. Bees love them and they are easy to grow (this is code for “I haven’t killed all mine yet”). Both produce lovely flowers and last for ages.

Your native flowers!

This might help you with the soil type.
It’s called (surprisingly) The Soil Triangle.
