Hi all, I have a raised garden bed in the front of my house (south facing). It is set a few feet back under a roof overhang, so it gets basically no rain or sun.

Any ideas for things I can plant there that wouldn’t require me to remember to water them more than once or twice a month?

I’ve gotten a couple suggestions for hostas, but something a bit flashier would be nice.

EDIT: I am in the USA, and referring to USDA zone 7.

    If your bed is absolutely isolated and there is no way for the runner roots to escape, mint would be a good option. Really make sure it’s isolated though, dig down to the bottom and make sure it doesn’t connect to your other dirt areas like lawn or other planters. If there is a way for it to escape it will, and it will take over.
