    You could keep them and just put some wires on the back fence and grow some jasmine on it

    For flowers that I can't kill I like daisies but they don't grow tall - maybe 1m so I would still put jasmine on the fence if you want more greenery

    How much sun does it get? If it gets at least 6 hours I would Plant frangipani. If shady Iā€™d plant colourful tropical plants like these 17416508-4EAD-4B40-8826-9EE93DB958C6.jpeg

    In case you want the orange blossom the garden nursery will spell it as "Murraya"

    Na, not frangipani. When they drop leaves, they make an awful mess. We need to know whether this is the dark or the sunny side of the fence. Then go to Gardening Australia website for sunny or shade flowering plants.

    Is that fence getting western sun? I'm trying lavendar on mine. If that doesn't work, rosemary. If that doesn't work then westringa.
    Westringa is dome-shaped and would fit in well.
    Callistemon is beautiful these days. Can get all heights. Attracts birds etc. Can't go wrong.

    I thought that you would suggest acacia? Because you do wattle.

    It depends on what height you want as well. Lavender would tend not to go very high, rosemary a little higher.

    A little hard to get these days. Not a bad idea though.

    This plot could be a vege garden. You would have to improve the soil that looks a bit compacted possibly inert. Lattice attached to the fence could grow table grape or passionfruit permanantly or snow peas etc annually. A couple of flowering shrubs is a simple fix but wont really improve the outlook .

    We took out those yellow marked boxes. This is full sun side. We are looking to add some pig face and osteospermum flowering plants in middle of the rest Japanese buxes.

    What do you think about this?
