Flower Garden Ideas: Borders, Beds & Big Color
Nothing makes a house feel loved like a flower garden in full bloom. These are my real client gardens and my own beds — annual borders that scream color from May to frost, salvia and coleus combinations that never quit, and poppy plantings that stop traffic.
Steal the color combinations, notice how the tall plants anchor the back and the spillers soften the edges, then describe your favorite look to the AI Designer and watch it appear in your own yard.

Linda's pro tip
Plant annuals in drifts of odd numbers — 5, 7, 9 of the same plant. One of everything looks like a garage sale; drifts look like a garden.
