Hi there. I would really appreciate you telling me what to do. I have cleared out my front flower bed today. It is about 12 feet long with a straight line along the front and is shaped around the 3 sided bay window. It’s behind a wall and has a foot wide path in front. It’s an old Victorian house. The flower bed is shaded and quite damp.
I have left a white Japanese anemone and a plant which is about 1ft high with shiny green leaves (similar to bay leaves) which is on sticks. When it flowers the flower is white with pink edges and grows like a ball until it opens and then I can’t remember what it does 😳.
I would like to plant it up now with perennials which will look nice and hopefully give me flowers or even just tidy greenery for most of the year but don’t take vast amounts of work or grow rampant and then become straggly and unruly. Slugs in our area are monsters as we’re old stone houses.
Also- just to be really fussy, I don’t want anything which grows higher than 2 feet.
Please hit me with ideas.
