Plants For Paving Borders

Nature of problem: 
Need help with what plants to have aroud the border of our paving. We have moved into this unit a year ago and are doing it up.

Don’t really want to spend too much money, just want something fairly simple that looks good and nice and green and lush with a splash of colour to give the backyard a lift. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: Hi Belinda,  You really need local advice on this matter. Only local nurseries or garden club people will know what plants grow best in your area. I don’t know Patterson Lakes; I don’t know either the climate or the soils. Sorry that I can’t be of more help. Don  (PS my definition of an “Expert” is someone who knows when to say: “I don’t know”).
