NB - the attached pic is not my front garden: mine is much less smart than that! But to give you an idea of the shape...
Very typical narrow patch in front of a Victorian terrace with a strip of earth beneath the garden wall and another beneath the bay window. Currently completely empty. Plus it's north facing so it really doesn't get the sun.
I just can't think what to put in it. I'm quite happy to have several of the same thing and for it to look quite uniform - but what? I prefer things that flower rather than just bushes and I think something with a bit of size for impact. My only thought so far is hydrangeas against the wall. But what else?
I'm quite keen on plants so it's not like me to be so lacking in inspiration. But this is a new house so a) I'm out of practice b) the north-facing aspect is stumping me and c) my usual taste is for crammed cottage-y gardens which doesn't feel quite right in such a small/restricted space.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be very grateful! Thanks.
