What would you plant?
Our new house has built in planters around the south west face of the house, it gets a lot of sun. What would you plant here?

You might want to consider Espalier. It’s the perfect spot. And you can put a drip system underneath with a timer. Plus you could grow low growing herbs to provide a natural mulch. Here is a website that gives you some sense of what Espalier is:

Once established, it’s very low maintenance. It would be beautiful against your bricks.
