Hello everyone!
We have a 30cm (12 inch) narrow planting strip—yes, really that narrow—along the side of our neighbors’ garage (9m (30 ft) long). This strip exists because of an installed irrigation system.
We would like to plant it! Preferably with nice ground covers that remain narrow or with taller plants. However, these should only grow wider than about 0.3m (12 inches) after that point, so our robot mower can pass underneath without obstruction. It would also be great if they don’t grow very deep.
Do you have any specific suggestions for what we could plant there?

It would be nice if they didn’t get much "deeper."I feel like everything has to be adjusted to fit your robot. I think Euonymus fortunei works well for corners like that. It’s a bushy ground cover, about 30cm (12 inches) high (ours is already 50cm (20 inches)). You can shape it (but don’t have to), and in my opinion, it looks very elegant alongside white and anthracite. It’s low-maintenance and doesn’t spread aggressively.
