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?

then take a look at Virginia creeper. It looks much more attractive than grapevine. However, it needs a solid structure for its tendrils to cling to.

As far as I know, there is no climbing maple. The wild grapevine is somewhat similar and can grow there. Lavender, thyme, or other plants don’t suit the setup and are not liked by @Golfi90 either.
