Sunny Retreat Garden Plan

This walled-in sideyard shows off traditional cottage garden ideas with a Southwestern twist. It's an exuberant planting of perennials and annuals that are well adapted to hot summers and dry soil. And the colorful mix of flowers is especially attractive to hummingbirds.

Featured plants include dahlias, blue sage, columbine, crocosmia and more great perennials and annuals.

This Sunny Retreat Garden Plan grows best in full sun and cold zones 4 to 8.
