Hi everyone, I have this garden currently with nothing in it. I've tried a few different plants over the last 12 months but nothing takes. I believe it's due to the roots from the pine trees both at the front and rear of the property. I went through and pulled as much of the roots out as possible. It filled the green bin twice.
My plan is to mulch the garden bed and buy a bunch of pots to sit on top. It gets a lot of shade with 3-4 hours sun from mid morning (photos taken at 10am)
What should I plant there that would do well in large pots, shade loving and ideally attract pollinators? Ignore the mess

I should have added Im in Perth
Perhaps try a raised garden bed instead of individual pots?
Correa love shade some adore deep shade, others part shade, there’s a Correa for every occasion from ground covers to tree like and so many colours to choose from.
They attract a lot of birds and insects and are very hardy. Rosellas love the flowers, other parrots do as well but rosellas seem particularly taken by them, nectar eaters adore sticking their beaks inside them and the insect eaters like magpies benefit from the insects.
