hi,
Imy garden is a bit of a blank canvas at the moment, one tree a d a large pond, but that's all I've challenged myself to plant a wildlife friendly garden of native plants and trees and intend to replace the fence with a mixed hedge.
I've set aside an area next to the patio that I'd like to have two tiered flower bed which is approximately 3 SQM. I'm looking for some ideas for plants that would be great for wildlife throughout the year but to provide a colourful and fragrant backdrop to the patio. i am looking for plants that won't grow too tall so they won't obscure the view of the garden (max 2-3ft)

Phacelia (delicate scent)
Poppies single - no scent but insects love perennial poppies. Or Opium poppies - annuals
Some ericas have scent - great for insects.
Night scented stock
