Been told off by the hubby got my measurements wrong the centre plot is about 45cm by 45cm woops
That's not very big for a shrub, being only 18 inches square. What about some box plants trained and clipped into topiary shape? There are not that many shrubs that will be constrained in that space without regular clipping or chopping. Or hebes are fairly well behaved - you could try a purple leaved one. As it is in the centre of the garden, have you considered a standard rose or small growing tree?
Thanks Verdun i shall look at these and see what i think
Thanks hogweed
Would Achillea do well south facing? been looking at the pretty belinda variety
It's such a small space that I think any shrub would look a bit isolated. How about a big statement pot which can have different pots inserted with seasonal planting? Bulbs in spring, annuals or perennials for summer etc. An evergreen grass, box or a Hebe for a nice architectural look in winter, or even left empty it would be attractive.
