We have this huge space right outside our kitchen window. It gets afternoon sun and we live in 7b. The lower maintenance the better. Thanks!

Is that a crepe myrtle?
If you just want worry free filler, how about some ostrich or maidenhair ferns?

Yellow – ornamental grasses that will also provide winter interest in 7b. Maybe like a blue avena- no need to cut those back
Green – mass some perennials. Go to your local nursery and pick what you like. 12-18” on center. I like to place in groups of 3-5 a little bit tighter to get a nice mass of flowers. Try to pick repeat bloomers that will keep color all summer long with a little deadheading.
Red – a nice low maintenance ground cover.
An azalea and some Everillo carex might look nice.
What direction does this face? How much sunlight?
I know you said low-maintenance, but damn, I’m coveting a space like that, right outside my kitchen, for an herb garden. If it’s any consolation, most kitchen herbs aren’t that hard to grow. And adding them to dinner brings up your eating a few notches.
