    This is my front flower garden. Don't have a favorite combination, but love different textures, colors, and heights. I change it up every year!
  • Sherrie S Sherrie S on May 09, 2012
    I love the look, too. The pink pump is also special.
  • Nancy Rhodes C Nancy Rhodes C on May 10, 2012
    Awesome.

    I want you to see my Philadelphus. Underneath I had lilies which I just dug out. There is a faucet on the long brick wall and some blue Hydrangeas and an Elephant Ear. The little fence is just a privacy measure. I just planted two hot pink Rhododendrons next to purple Irises. Shade mornings and blazing hot in afternoon in this area. Thinking about installing a shower here. Not sure about the Rhododendrons. Help!
  • Nancy Rhodes C Nancy Rhodes C on May 10, 2012
    The Cannas or whatever were too much upkeep and just looked like a dead corner in winter. That is why I want to go with shrubs. Also have have a low bench of large stacked rock for the shower to go behind. The Philadelphus is glorious about 10 ft tall.

    I like Dusty Miller and Red Salvia together. It looks very good together. I like the Red Salvia. There is other colors of the Salvia but I like the older Red together.. Hope somone likes this..
  • Nancy Rhodes C Nancy Rhodes C on Jun 12, 2012
    My nursery suggested a Hydrangea bush that grows smaller white clusters. I have finished and will try to post a pic now.
  • Nancy Rhodes C Nancy Rhodes C on Jun 12, 2012
    I wonder if my white stuff is Dusty Miller? I can put in some Salvia in front of whatever I have that is white or dusty but do not want to overcrowd.

    Dark purple, reddish autumn tone, chartreuse coleus along with a rex begonia (the one with whirligig looking leaves is awesome) and creeping jenny in a large pot on the porch.

    Awesome group topic. Thank you for gathering all of us plant enthusiasts who range from container gardening to creating magnificent landscape gardens. I love mixing and matching the oddest most unexpected combinations that folks chase me down to ask how and what is in a certain creation. What makes for even more interesting plant combinations, is what one plants them in.This is also what I consider a critical aspect, of your asking for plant combo's, of this group merely in own Humble opinion only. Thank you I am very anxious to follow your posts.

    I like to mix three colors: dark red/purple/bronze, plus chartreuse (like Dorothy, above), plus something glaucous (gray, blue-gray, green-gray, pink-gray, ANY-gray!). I pick the plants in these three color themes for the growing conditions of the planting area (sun, shade, wet, dry, container or not, etc.), and try to vary size&shape, height, leaf size/shape, etc.

    Sorry, I don't have any pictures but I love hosta and coleus together. The hosta will come back every year put the coleus is an annual which gives you a choice each year to try something different if you like.
  • Ann Ann on Jul 13, 2015
    I love the look of Walker's low catmint underneath my roses. The catmint blooms all summer in lovely purple spires and doesn't overwhelm the rosebushes. For planters I love hosta and golden creeping jenny.
