Plant suggestions for my front garden

I would say some of the previous suggestions have been good - we had a similar problem in Oxfordshire. Heucheras are great, especially in a mixture of colors, try at least one red in the mix. A couple of dwarf conifers give good evergreen year round structure, which is so important, you want some some strong lines in a front border or it can look very bitty and insignificant. If things grow a bit above the wall, so much the better, as it will also soften the lines and it looks as if you could do with some height. Add a few fail safe plants clumping plants that will bring some color into the mix at different times of year - Japanese anenomies are great, white ones look modern, or go for pink. Schizostylis are fantastic, would never plan a garden without them. They come from Siberia so will survive come what may! Come in pinks or red and flower from late autumn through to spring, when no other color around, even in snow, you can also put them in pots. Crocosmia are pretty fails safe too and come in lots of colors. Yes, tuck some bulbs inbetween things and see what happens, don't forget these can also go in pots for seasonal color, you can even buy ready planted.

POLL: Favourite garden flower

Same as others I love different flowers and plants, but have to mention my irises. I love them for deep purple colour, chocolatey-vanilla fragrance, velvet petals of their enormous heads (bigger than palms of my hands), height and juiciness of their chunky stems and pointy leaves. And they bloom at the end of may - start of June which is a lovely time of the year, already lush and warm and summer is still ahead :)

Pruning Hydrangea arborescens

Hi Ribena drinker. I always do mine in spring, two mop heads and one piniculata. Piniculata and aborescens need to be treated slightly differently because they flower on new wood where as mop heads and lace caps flower on old wood. So I just dead head the mop heads when the leaves start showing and thin out any dead dying branches, and for piniculata I trim back by 2 thirds plus trim any dead branches, both at this time of year. Although if it’s fairly young then you can just leave the aborescens and it should still flower. This should explain better: https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=516

When I had my first garden I planted rather randomly, not thinking about aspect or soil, but I’ve learnt a lot. Some plants died (wrong spot), some grew far too big and had to be cut down. One of the trees was a Silver Birch that grew to 50ft, causing damage to my neighbours garden path, so it was chopped down (a sad day). I now have a Himalayan Birch is an enormous pot so it is sort of controlled, I hope! They do grow to 40ft high and about 25ft wide, so I would plant far apart, not too near the others, or near buildings and paths. I think you have enough trees, so I would suggest you grown some climbers like Honeysuckle and Climbing Hydrangeas. You also grow some prettier plants nearer the house, such as perennials like Geraniums, Salvias, Anemonies and Crocosmias. i have a smallish garden and we removed the grass as the dogs had created a slimy bog, but if your dog is small and you have children then keeping the lawn would be nice, I think.
