I have a street facing quarter-circle garden bed, the fence is about 1.7-1.8m high to the north, to the left in the picture (so the bed is to the south). The lawn is not quite a N-S axis, it gets slightly more east/morning sun. Under the built up bed is badly-draining clay, and maybe an NBN pipe. The tree is a Crepe Myrtle Sioux. I was wondering what I can plant here around the myrtle. I thought mini roses around the curve (the midday sunny side) and jasmine or clematis against the fence or perhaps two small columnar camellias (one on either side of the myrtle) as some of them can handle some shade.
Along the ground: shady, I was thinking Plectranthus or Swedish ivy or sweet box ( have a dog so azaleas etc are out).
During the day at the moment, at midday, the sun hits the ground about 1.2m from the fence to the left. The myrtle is planted 1.1 from left fence and 1.2 back from the street fence (as there was a multi-trunked large golden rain tree pulled out with rotting roots I was limited where I could plant this).
The street-length internally is about 2.5m; along the fence is 2.3m. I can also build up the garden bed another 100-120 mm if required.
Orig had a chilean guava the dog destroyed. Would like to plant small blueberries (or midyim or a small guava?) or similar fruiting small hedge at front as it gets a lot of sun. I have limited sun at the back for my berries and fruit trees. Could also put dwarf fruit trees in pots I suppose (the blood orange in picture is just there temporarily).
