Did you know that a plant may not flourish in your garden just because your hardiness zone is listed on its label? Designers have to choose plants that look good together as well as thrive in the specific conditions of the garden site. Design: Home Outside. Photographer: Susan Teare.
Creating a planting plan for a garden bed can be a tricky challenge, even for seasoned gardeners who know their plants. Good planting design takes into account many factors:
- flower color and bloom times
- complementary types of foliage
- a variety of plant heights and habits (the overall shape and form of the plant)
- the soil conditions in which particular plant varieties thrive
- sun and shade patterns
- forage and habitat for pollinators, songbirds, and other desired wildlife visitors
- a garden style suited to your home and personality
The Home Outside plant list shows you exactly which plants to buy.
