Hello from a new poster.
We are looking for help choosing the right plants for a raised bed in a tiny city garden.
We are looking for help choosing the right plants for a raised bed in a tiny city garden.
Last winter I planted a white rambling rose against the fence on the left (which is south facing) and it seems to be doing well. But everything else in the border has either grown too big and taken over - and had to be removed, or else struggled, with the last-but-one plant (in the middle) shuffling off this winter.
I am thinking that we need something medium height in the middle bit and something smaller where the pot is currently sitting, so that they and the rose behind each don’t restrict for each other what limited hours of sunlight the border enjoys. But I am a bit of a novice and don’t want to plant the wrong things!
The euonymus type thing growing up the wall near the bench is very slow growing, but I am not wedded to keeping it.
The soil is well drained and rich. Any advice at all is much appreciated.
sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance!

Or perhaps a group of one of the smaller evergreen grasses would be nice, e.g. Festuca glauca / Stipa tenuissima, either on their own or combined with an airy sort of perennial e.g. Dianthus carthusianorum (and maybe a few alliums).
