Dutchlady1: The area seems to be in the shade throughout the day. The front of the home faces North and the bed is inset under an eave creating a covered area that it sits in. I would like to create something that is not high maintenance. I don't mind periodically weeding and pruning, but don't want something that will be a full time job caring for. Being new to gardening, I don't want anything that requires a lot of knowledge of specialized upkeep. I'm don't need prize roses or exotic plants, lol. Just something with low to medium maintenance that will look nice and add some color.
