If you're like me, the fun part of landscaping is picking out what plants you'll grow. With thousands of varieties available (and more new ones every year), choosing the right plants for your yard can be a tricky task. Here's help!
You can't beat shrub annuals for season-long color. Check out some of our favorites -- from tough-as-nails Mexican sunflower to fragrant heliotrope.
While annuals are great because they offer big bloom power, you have to plant them every year -- so we like to tuck them in amongst our favorite perennials (like the lovely peony shown above).
You're not just limited to annuals and perennials for colorful blooms. Don't forget about small trees, which also give your landscape privacy and architectural interest. Here are some of the best small trees.
