Hi everyone, would love some garden advice! We recently bought house and garden was a mess so had new border each side and artificial grass laid as we have three large dogs and it was a mess within months. I stupidly bought a load of plants without looking into it at all and now doubting what I’ve put in the ground 🙈 any advice on whether to move stuff and start again or what else I could put in? Borders are only 2ft deep, left hand side is morning sun and right hand side is afternoon sun. Soil is clay deep down but mostly all top soil, plants all seem to like it so far but I’m not sure if some will get too big and wide for the borders. We have a mop head hydrangea, Choisya de Witteana white dazzler x 2, rosemary, olive tree, 2 different hebes, 2 lime conifers, bay tree, aucunuba sp?, philadelphus sweet Clare, verbena, geraniums, agapanthus, lupins, Heuchera

can't comment on the individual plants, but as they seem quite happy I'd leave them 'til next year once they've formed a decent root ball and then decide whether to move them about.

You've planted them now, I would leave them and see what they do. If they are unhappy you can move them about then. If they grow too big you can cut them back, but in any case it's nice when plants spill over from a narrow bed.

You can also remove any that get too big as and when they outgrow the space you want them to take.
