Crepe-papery poppies and lacy native ferns make fast friends in the dappled sunlight of a woodland meadow. In Brian's garden, the poppies are self-seeding perennials, but you can achieve the same loose, natural effect with annuals. The lesson, Brian says, is simple: "Let Nature do the arranging."
Stop Fighting Moss
This is no rolling stone and it has the moss to prove it. "It's art," Brian says of the moss-kissed rock nestled among ferns, golden creeping Jenny, and Euphorbia 'Diamond Frost'. "When I look at this stone, I imagine I see a goat's face or a horse's face," he says. "Nature created it for me to admire."
"Do the unexpected," Brian says. Here, he gives the shrubby evergreen creeper Euonymus 'Emerald Gaiety' the support it needs: The creamy-edge emerald foliage that blushes pink in winter caresses a decades-old wisteria root that hugs a cement pillar.
Soften Edges
Use graceful arching grasses to soften and conceal hard or unsightly edges of beds and borders. Just about any cascading plant can do the trick and look lovely at the same time.
If you're looking for fragrance as well as color, orange marigolds and purple vanilla-scented heliotrope offer a double treat for the senses.
