Plant reccomendations pleaseI know you guys are good at this kind of thing so I thought worth putting up a post. Me and my father have just started on the back garden. It's a tiny wee thing but he's never touched it since moving in 3 years ago so was just a weedy lawn really and a few brambles and ivy round the fence. Well we have started on it together and I was wondering if anyone can advise on some plants. We are looking for some colour but not something that will shrivel up and die during the winter months. Small shrubbery type plants to go around the fence that will bulk out. We were just going to pop out to the garden center but I thought it worth putting up a thread first. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated too.

Pyracantha is a good hardy woody shrub with colorful red or orange berries in the winter, can be trained on a fence... http://www.gardeninginarizona.com/Pl..._coccinea.html |
