A Vibrant Updated Landscape For A Spanish-Style Bungalow in San Anselmo, CA

Tibouchina heteromalla - Silver leafed Princess Flower is a stunning late summer blooming shrub with vibrant purple-blue flowers. And really pops against the warm golden tones of California, Spanish-style bungalow. Photo taken 2 years after installation. The fresh new landscape and garden design replaced the tired lawn with a creeping thyme ground cover and other low-water plantings. The new flagstone pathway, and a small patio echo the terra-cotta tones of the house and are softened by Elfin Thyme planted between the pavers.
