What can i plant under conifers?
Hi,
Just looking for some ideas. I’m new to gardening having lived at home and moved into my first home in October.
One side of my garden is all conifers, i was just wondering if anyone could recommend some shrubs to plant underneath. Next door have a dog and it sometimes comes through the bottom as there is no fence so I’m looking for things to kind of block up the holes. Hopefully with abit of colour as my garden is currently just green..
thanks

Hi Waterbutts,
thanks for your reply. i wasnt sure what type of conifers they were but i did a quick google search and i believe they are Leylandii
they are about 8-10 foot tall. they have all gone brown now, from what ive been told is wind burn. not sure if this makes a difference.
luckily i get alot of sun on my side, for the majority of the day.
thanks for your help
