    Good Morning All,

    Hope everyone is well.


    We’re just in the process of trying (pulling out hair out!) to design our planting for our front garden.


    It is mostly North Facing, with approximately 3hrs of Morning Sunshine in the Summer Months and 2hrs in the Evening.

    We like explosions of flowers, but in a uniform style (just 2 or 3 colors, not different colours everywhere)


    So, along the rear, we were thinking a row of white to contrast with the brick, so we are thinking 3 or 4 Pieris Japonica Flaming Silver to provide nice white flowers Spring and Early summer, and offering striking and evolving leaf colours.
    In-between these, were where thinking Convolvus cneorum (Silverbush) but not sure if these would grow in proportion to the Pieris, or maybe Abelia x grandiflora or choisya aztec pearl
    I had thought about some white Hydrangea’s, but I’m not a fan of the look of the dead heads through the autumn / winter.


    Not sure yet on what colours to have in front of these, not made much choice yet, only got, Vinca Minor Bowles Variety, Dicentra Spectabilis (these are a must as my partner loves them), Armeria


    The issue is, we also want flowers through the autumn as well

    So obviously at quite a loss!!
    If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated


    NOTE: I will be lowering the drains you can see so that flowers can spread over the top of them or use pots
