Over the last few years I've been working on the garden and am getting it to a point where I am happy. However, there's a narrow strip between the drive and fence (maybe 2m wide x 3m long, on a slight slope) which is dominated by a large lilac. To one side is a wild patch which is slowly getting less scrubby and busier with wild carrot, a mix of grasses etc. The other side is more sloped and is a rockery with succulents and alpine plants. I've left the scrubby bit for a couple of years now and it's still patchy and ugly and just seems to foster the ugliest weeds (apart from a part carpet of lovely ipheion uniflorum at the base of the lilac).
I could really do with something low maintenance. What would you do? Maybe I need to dig over and re-seed with wild flowers to extend the wild area? Or some low maintenance ground cover? Would love some suggestions please, I just feel very uninspired by this little patch!
