TREE AND SHRUBSLeaf it to me

garden design inspiration and plants recommendations?

we have space to fill with some interesting plants (about 1.5m x 2.5m) by a south facing wall (sunny place, soil quality probably not very good). i’d like to plant some interesting and hardy grasses and shrubs and maybe some climbers. i want to create an interesting feature in our little garden with nice contrasting colours and textures. the plants should ideally be decorative all year round and shouldn’t need watering.
can you recommend any plants or a good website that features photos and descriptions or even some ideas how to group the plants to get some nice effects? most websites i’ve seen give only lists of plants (no good if you don’t know them).

For climbers, I go for either:
Roses as these can flower for quite a time during the summer.
Passion flower, these come in all different colours and in the autumn have lovely orange fruits [don't eat them!]
Clematis, these too come in all sorts of different flowers and colours.
Put black and/or green bamboo in tubs [ this spreads quite quickly] as an alternative to grasses.
And for a mass of colour all year round why not plant bulbs that flower in the different seasons. Bulbs you can leave in the ground to naturalise, so it’s less work for you. Why not add a water feature or a sundial too.

Happy gardening
