Joy in the Garden 🌸Joyce Merschman Ludlow on Instagram: "This front garden gets full sun all day and needs to have plants that can take it. We’ve had more rain than usual this year and the last few years we’ve had very little rain. So far all of these plants have been able to thrive in both conditions. Although I’m sure I’ll move more perennials and shrubs around this fall (because I just can’t help myself), this garden has improved so much by adding more perennials and shrubs and not relying on so many annuals. It was a hard move for me because I used to tend to like constant color, but this garden relies on texture and tone just as much as color. I’ve grown to love it. What changes have you made in your gardens that was difficult, but you’re glad you made the change? #garden #garden

Morgan Battey | Home DIY on Instagram: "I’ll be the first to admit that replacing the grass in our front yard with a “meadowscape” was no easy feat for someone who’s never had a flower garden before. It took me a while to research which plants would be suitable for our conditions (full sun in planting zone 9), but it took me even longer to fully acquire all the flowers for our perennial garden. All the flowers I chose like the heat and require full sun, are considered “hardy” and drought-tolerant, and have low to moderate water needs. 1. Purpletop Vervain (a.k.a. Tall Verbena) - These have tiny delicate purple flowers at the very tips of the hardy stems and can grow up to six feet tall 2. Moonshine Yarrow - These grow in clusters of bright yellow flowers with grayish green foliage 3. Ga

Joy in the Garden 🌸Joyce Merschman Ludlow on Instagram: "Full sun morning to evening. These varieties can handle it. I have learned in the heat of the summer (July in my zone 5) to make sure I water the hydrangeas deep once a week if we don’t have rain. List of plants: (PW = Proven Winners) * Limelight Hydrangea (standard) - PW * Senorita Rosalita Cleome - PW * Verbena Meteor Shower - PW * Bobo Hydrangea - PW * Sweet Caroline Sweetheart Lime - PW * Lamb’s Ear Helene Von Stein * Allium Millenium * Spirea Glower Girl - PW #garden #gardening #midwestgarden"
