Colorful Patio Garden Plan

This colorful planting blurs the line that often separates a patio or deck from the rest of the yard. Although a surrounding garden makes a patio feel more comfortable, you’ll still want to be able to see what’s going on in the yard beyond. This mix of shrubs, perennials, bulbs and tender perennials grown as annuals has just enough height to provide a bit of privacy, but you can still see over and around most of the planting. It peaks over the summer months but has blooms and foliage interest into fall and even winter.

Featured plants include blanket flower, Russian sage, globe allium, ninebark and other easy-care annuals, perennials and shrubs.

This Colorful Patio Garden Plan performs best in full sun and cold zones 4 to 8.
