Perfect Patio

Extend your living space into the garden, and create a great view from indoors.
This garden is really an extension of the owners' home. It beckons you outdoors and begs you to linger among the daylilies, spice-scented roses, and friendly daisies.
The patio is just large enough to be functional without being unmanageable, a key characteristic for any outdoor living space. Plus, thoughtful planning has minimized garden chores.
Blooming Favorites:
• Perennials: bearded iris, 'Whirling Butterflies' gaura (Gaura lindheimeri 'Whirling Butterflies'), purple coneflower, daylily, and Shasta daisy
• Biennial: common foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)
• Annuals: begonia, pentas, snapdragon, and torenia - Next: Pretty Paths
