This bed is at the front of the house. It is north facing but gets a fair amount of sun. What I'm looking for is some very low maintenance, nice looking plants that will cover the ground and be wildlife-friendly. I think it needs some height at the back to cover the wooden wall. I am pretty clueless when it comes to gardening. I planted spring bulbs which looked nice at the time but now it is just a jungle, with a few pansies which I planted last Autumn and didn't expect to resurrect themselves. Last year there were lovely poppies but there is no sign of them so far. I was thinking maybe some bushes like lavender or something at the back then something spready at the front? When you dig down there are loads of thick roots, I don't know what they are from, which makes it particularly unappealing to deal with it. Thank you very much for any tips.
