 Hi all Looking for interesting, practical ideas for planting this small narrow border area - 2.7m x 47cm - by an on-street front wall that's around 60cm high. The front of this terrace house faces north, so even though the border is technically south-facing, the plants will see little sun after early morning. Not looking for a typical urban privacy hedge all the way along it, but maybe one or two plants that will reach 1/1.5m, some interesting shades and textures and year round interest. Ideas welcome - and hugely appreciated! The Digger Attachments:

Welcome to the forums thedigger. Because your garden is next to the street, I would think about Viburnum tinus 'Eve Price' which is never out of flower and also evergreen. Next to this could be Weigela florida nana 'Variegata'. As this is deciduous you could plant daffodils and tulips at its feet. Next I would choose evergreen Mahonia which is a toughie. |

I would go with Escallonia "Apple Blossom", Berberis "Darwinii" and Sarcococca "Confusa". Welcome to the site by the way.
