Hello,

I would like to plant flowers in front of a hedge , biggish area to plant.
Not sure what type hedge is but its been in situ 40+ years.

The area gets full sun for 6+ hours each day and gets wet when it rains.

At present house sparrows use the area for dustbaths, up to 20+ at anyone
time.The mess they make transfers to the grass area.

I would like to plant some low height flowers to bring colour to the area
and make it difficult for the housesparrows who can then use other parts of
the garden.

One condition is that these plants mustn't be too delicate. I lay a
dustsheet twice a year for the hedge clippings.

Any suggestions suitable flowers ?

Thanks.

Mike.
