    It’s a dry shade area that used the be full of liriope.

    Wild petunia? Pussytoes? Columbine? I have similar areas where asters and goldenrod have thrived. But you may not want something that tall.

    Maybe a coreopsis. Some
    Can self seed pretty well to fill it in

    Black eyed Susan’s would mature nicely there

    I’d try verbena canadensis – I’ve had it do well in shadier areas. Also known as creeping vervain. The homestead purple is most common

    I might send Virginia Creeper up the fence, but that’s not for the faint of heart.

    Native violets. Just transplant from lawn to fence edge.

    Chocolate Daisy. Zinnias. Stock (I love the clove scent, stronger than dianthus). Sweet peas trained up strings as cordons.

    Did you know that homeless male bumblebees prefer sleeping in zinnias?

    Select Seeds has some great offerings of climbers, scented plants, and some lovely, often forgotten old fashioned varieties.
