🌿 Details 🌿

This drought-tolerant planting combination for full sun features a variety of plant shapes, foliage colors and textures, and an evolving sequence of blooms that provide color from spring to fall. The anchoring tree, Natchez crape myrtle, provides a vertical lift to the overall scene, is decorated by summer blooms, delivers a nice display of fall color, and has beautifully smooth bark. Evergreen elements that provide year-round structure include Nandina, Cistus, the two varieties of Juniper, and the ground-covering succulent tapestry made up of Sedum and hens and chicken (Sempervivum).

The layouts included in this download are designed to look good from all sides so this combo is a great choice for adding curb appeal to a sunny front yard garden or parking strip.

These eleven plants were carefully selected to work perfectly together by garden design guru, Darcy Daniels of Bloomtown® Gardens.
