Spring:Decorate with Plants

Make your outdoors as stylish as your indoors

Flower gardening is all about decorating your patio and landscape with the perfect plants. Keep these elements in mind when decorating your garden: color, texture and location.

Consider calming cool-color combinations, which are different shades of the same color. Or use warm color combinations to create a bold statement, such as mixing red and yellow.

Nonflowering foliage plants offer both unique texture and distinctive foliage color, such as the commonly used dracaena spikes and asparagus sprengeri. Today, however, many new plants are available to provide visual texture, such as heliechrysum petiolare ‘Licorice’ and ipomoea pandurata sweet potato vine.

But if you choose containers, make sure they have water-drainage holes and give hanging baskets frequent watering. Finally, always adhere to a regular fertilizer program.
