I should add that the location is right next to my front door. I have a small flower bed there that is approx just over 1 metre in length and 30cm wide that is in partial shade. I would like to plant something that looks good for most of the year and easy to maintain. Any recommendations please?

@Sunflowerhelp here you go. I’ve just cut off the old growth so it looks a bit bare - in a few weeks the ferns will overlap and it will be quite bushy.

The ferns are evergreen so they look lovely all winter until late March.

This looks lovely and green.

I've got wallflowers in a stretch of similar width space, they have been flowering since late February.

I really love this! Thank you for sharing
