Default Plant suggestions for narrow border

Hi all,

i am looking for some advice for plants for a new border I am creating.

its a narrow border with a width of approx 1 metre and its East facing. The space is becoming more sheltered as the new hedge grows but we are quite close to the moor so reasonably exposed....that said we are in Cornwall so weather is mild!

Soil here is quite acidic.

we are going to put a wooden fence along the back of the border.

i would like some plant suggestions please for the space and the arch...anything bright, colourful and scented if possible..

i was thinking a mixed border to give some colour and foliage all year round

i do have some shrubs I could put there I.e. Hydrangea, rhododendron, camelia and mock orange but I'm not sure how sensible this is as it's such a narrow space...

any advice much appreciated...


Thanks

It would help if you added your location and growing zone to your profile.

Hi. This being a banana forum, I would expect to see your first post about bananas and a proper introduction in: members introductions. That being said, haven't I seen the link you are posting in another's ex-member thread not too long ago?
