At the back of the border, Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha, Zone 8) and upright rosemary add structure and height opposite the soft purple cloud of pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris, zones 6 to 9), native to the central and southern U.S. as well as parts of Central America. In the foreground, yellow-flowering ‘Moonbeam’ coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’, zones 4 to 9) and white, frothy blackfoot daisy (Melampodium leucanthum, Zone 5), native to prairies in Texas and the central and southwestern U.S., fill in the border. The plants would grow best in full sun and with moderate to low water.
1. Succulent tapestry in Los Angeles. Talk about curb appeal. The layers of blue, gold, bronze and deep purple foliage create a tapestry of color in this Los Angeles front yard. Plants include chartreuse spurge (Euphorbia characias, zones 8 to 11), gold leucadendron, silvery blue fescue (Festuca glauca, zones 4 to 8), spiky bronze New Zealand flax (Phormium sp., zones 8 to 11), dark maroon smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria, zones 5 to 10), and purple ‘Zwartkop’ aeonium (Aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum ‘Zwartkop’, zones 9 to 10). A carpet of blue chalk sticks (Senecio mandraliscae, zones 9 to 12) covers the ground and acts as a unifying sea of blue in the design. All plants pictured thrive in full sun and with low water.
