This spectacular small garden marries beautiful colors, shapes, and textures. The bright orange Kangaroo Paws (Anigozanthos ‘Orange Cross’) cheerfully contrast with the silver-gray Lamb’s Ears (Stachys byzantina) and Blue Chalk Stick (Senecio mandraliscae), while the addition of the graceful and airy, lime-green Mesquite tree provides an overall elegant intimacy to the area. Reminiscent of the desert, the mix of sand, boulders, and geometrically planted succulents create a serene and peaceful feeling.
All plants are drought tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant. Created by Debora Carl Landscape Design, this low-maintenance and water-wise garden is absolutely fantastic!
