You know you are making progress with the planting when you start filling in the gaps, with ground cover-y type plants. So here I have put a few low fuscia procumbens, which is a good native, and the bees might like it too. Check out the tiniest little exquisite flowers. Maybe small bees then?
And some violets. This one will spread a bit, a good thing I think.
And this violet will has darker leaves and a less spready habit, but has beautiful deep blue/purple flowers.
I've put these along the bottom of the retaining wall, which gets a bit of morning sun, but is then in shade, so the perfect conditions for the shade lovers I'm hoping.
