Color In The Landscape

Color plays a crucial role in creating a cohesive and inviting landscape and enhancing your curb appeal.
Drought-Tolerant Plants: If you have limited access to water, opt for drought-tolerant plants. Hydrangeas, while not the most drought-resistant, can still thrive with minimal water if placed in the right spot. Consider supplementing with other drought-tolerant options like lavender, succulents, or ornamental grasses to ensure color and texture even in dry conditions.
Walkway Management: For a clean and tidy walkway, choose groundcovers that stay well-behaved and add interest. Creeping phlox provides vibrant blooms in spring, sedum offers color and texture with its succulent leaves, thyme adds a fragrant touch, and liriope contributes with its grass-like foliage and purple spikes.
Front Entrance: Make your front entrance pop with complementary colors. Use planters with bright flowers or foliage that match or contrast with the colors of your house.
Coordinated Planting: To unify the different areas of your landscape, choose plants that share a common color palette or theme. This doesn’t mean everything has to match perfectly, but a harmonious mix of colors and textures will create a cohesive look.
Accent Pieces: Incorporate colorful garden accessories like decorative pots, garden statues, or outdoor rugs to add additional splashes of color and personality.
By thoughtfully combining these elements, you can create a vibrant, inviting landscape that enhances your home’s curb appeal and ties everything together beautifully.
