when we bought this place, the previous owners had some lovely plants(dailiahs, lilies, peony roses, azaleas, etc ,etc). all of which take a lot of time to tend to. time which i dont have and as i spend most of my time with the veggies everything has now become a bit of an eyesore to be honest.
there is a border between me n next door which is a breeze block wall, which is now annoying us! they have a beech hedge on their side and taking the wall down isnt an option.
i want to dig up all the lillies, what's left of the dailiais and all the things that are time consuming and/or dont grow very high and replant with stuff that is easy and attractive.
the border is about 3 feet deep but i could make it larger as its just lawn at the end of it, and about 25-30 feet long. at one end i have smoke bush, buddlejia and eonymous (all crammed together so something have to be dug out) and at the other end something else i dont know what...
so what can i plant (I dont have much in the way of spare cash) that will eventually grown to hide the wall (BTW we cant attach anything to the wall as it isnt strong enough to take the wires according to hubby)?
i'm thinking flowering shrubs and maybe edible stuff?
i see it from the house so i want something that isnt horrible and would like blue/purple/pink as a colour scheme (loosely)
oh lastly, it is east facing if that's any help
anything that i could easily take cutting from would be fab.
elsewhere in the garden we have (that i know the names of!)
forsythia
magnolia
daphne
buddlejia
mock organge (is that piladephus?)
the thing that has flowers that look like we dancing ladies!!
hostas
and of course lots of lilies, peony roses and stuff like that
thanks folks
