Hello to you all.
I've just had my front garden paved. I've left a quarter-circle corner with a 12' radius to break it up.
The corner of this 'corner' is facing SW, and bounded by 4' walls which give shade half the day.
I would like to plant a large bush in the corner, with progressively smaller bushes towards the front.
Any advice on ones that keep their foliage all year around?
Also, I'd like to grow ivy on the house.
I know it grows into the mortar, but I'd still like the green covering all year around.
Thanks in advance.
