Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 May 21, 2016 9:21 pm Hi all, I'm looking for plant suggestions for a narrow pathway (1m to Colourbond fence from the house) that faces NW. I'll probably end up paving the area, so I'm planning to grow plants in pots/small planter boxes to soften the look of the area, plus oxygenate the surrounds. The hurdles I face are: a) radiant heat from fence/bricks b) shade for most of the day with some afternoon sun I'm located in the SE of Perth near (but not in) the Perth hills. Any and all suggestions appreciated.

Narrow conifers could also work.
