It's a little bit shaded because of the tree but gets quite a bit of sun. I planted all the shrubs when we first moved in because it's quite a deep bed and was just all soil/weeds. The shrubs are good because there is greenery all year but I'd quite like some flowers/colour.
I planted some bedding plants last year (busy lizzies and petunias) but they just got a bit lost under all the big plants. Where there is a bit of a gap in the photo is a wigielia (sp?) and a low spreading plant that smells like thyme so the whole area gets filled.
Is it best to remove some of the shrubs? I prune them back each year but they've still all got quite big. If I take them out I'm going to end up with random gaps?
Any suggestions?
