    Hi all,
    Hoping you all might have planting suggestions for a new boarder along a post and rail fence and a low wall. It can be as deep as I need it to be but was thinking 1mt - 1.5mt.
    I will plant some decorative trees also, maybe Cornus Kousa , Mountain Ash, Crataegus.
    I was thinking along the lines of hydrangeas and viburnum but am stuck there - can’t think of anything else. Hoping to get some evergreens and as much colour throughout the year as possible.
    Will add in herbaceous perennials
    Thanks in advance ðŸ˜

    How about some clematis or other climbers to climb along the fence.

    Some evergreen shrubs I like that you might consider include Pieris (particularly forest flame), Ceanothus, Hebe, Berberis, Sarcococca, Osmanthus, Mahonia, Lithodora, Iberis, Variegated laurel, Rosemary, Camellia, Pittosporum, pale leaved choisya, olearia, rhododendron, escallonia, myrtle, photinia red robin, bay laurel and short videos including these and a few others are available on this link.
