Hi everyone.
I've got a new bed in the place of our old shed. See pic.
It gets full sun from 9am until about 13:00 and then partial shade from the Red Robin next to it. I enjoy pottering in garden, but nothing too crazy as I have 2 young girls to look after.
I need to full the space. I was thinking of a tall evergreen shrub for the corner space, and maybe some ornamental grasses to give movement and texture. That will leave some space in the front for annual planting/colour.
The tall evergreen shrub - is there one that has a deep purple leaf? I was looking at diablo but they shed leaves and it's a mission to clear up leaves (I already have to do it for the red robin).
Any suggestions for shrub and grasses? I've been trowling the internet but it's a minefield!
