I have a shaded raised planter bed in my front yard and need some ideas for what to plant there. The bed is approximately 1.5' W x 12' L and currently includes one unidentified plant and several purple heart flowers. I would like to take out the green mystery plants and add some flowers and color, but keeping them under about 12" tall. I'm in Houston in Zone 8B/9 and would love some suggestions.
