I would like to grow a few more evergreens, to give more colour and interest during the Winter months here in U.K.

I had an old overgrown Leylandii hedge removed in the Winter - it was 30 foot long and 4 foot deep. The space it occupied is now a whole new flower border of bare earth, with a 6 foot tall boundary fence behind it,
It is beside my patio and in direct view from my sitting room patio doors, so I would like to choose my planting scheme for some colour and interest throughout the year -
So if any of you Green-fingered folk have any ideas for a planting scheme, I’d be glad to hear them.
It is a fairly sunny spot, facing South East and gets the morning sun plus the afternoon sun shines on the flowerbed from the front of the house, through the gap between the fence and the side of the house.

Thanks for the idea, Eliza - I’ve just looked at some pics of Zinnia - they are very bright and colourful.

Lots of things but mainly gum trees.So many of our neighbours are cutting theirs down.It’s not easy though,many are prone to disease and when they reach a decent size every one likes to eat them.

I would love a Mediterranean Garden, especially the fern and palm trees,:palm_tree: but the north coast of Scotland is far too cold. :cloud_with_rain::snowflake: :cry:

Lots of things but sadly the soil here contains a lot of clay - great for roses, but not my favourite plant!
I have managed to grow some evergreens with some success in the last few years, mostly down to hard work and digging in organic matter, and other soil improvers, but i’ve had to add containers in order to grow the more fragile variety of plants.

The garden looks a lot better than when first moved in - it was sadly neglected and rather drab.
