Hi there,

i have quite a large border that is now 2 summers old with mainly
shrubs in. Contents include bamboo, spirea, photinia, dogwoods,
choysia, fuschia, salix, various grasses, hostas etc. So as you can
probably imagine, theres plenty of "green" but no genuine splashes of
colour.

As there is no room anymore shrubs/plants, i thought about using bulbs
to give me the splashes of colour i require thru the seasons.

Why not try some ipomea - a bit like bindweed but not invasive - which will
climb through your shrubs and give a welcome splash of colour. especially
the red variety (cant recall its name) the blue morning glory is also a
lovely thing to climb up through shrubbery.
