Advice for Plants in Garden

Hi Gardeners Worlders,

My partner and I have moved into a new home with, what was an overgrown, mature garden. We have tidied it up but are now looking to plug to bare soil with some colour. 

I have attached some photos. This is the front garden and it faces west.

In the first five photos I’m looking for some plants under the trees to hide the concrete fence and soil. Because of the beach (?) tree hedge (which has now been trimmed back), there will be a lack of light in a few years.

In the 6th and 7th photos there is space for some extra colour. It receives a good amount of light. Under the bay window the existing shrub is purple and the rose bush is pink.









Thank you

The ground under the hedge plants would get very shaded so the options could be a bit limited. I think ajuga, pulmonaria, brunnera or bergenia might be options. For the places with more light there would be more choice but I'd pick something with a small full grown size to make maintenance a bit easier like pittosporum tom thumb.

Happy gardening!
