This bed surrounds the service entrance, softening the look of this area of the building. It needed some experimentation and patience to see which plants would thrive here, as many didn’t survive over the years. This is likely due to the sudden shift of solid shade to hot sun in the growing season, exposure to road salt in the winter and exhaust fumes from vehicles year round.
If you have a challenging area, play around to see which native plants, herbs and beneficial annuals work for you.
