Here is the recipe for a successful marriage: mounds of tiny yellow flowers, subtly echoed by the spectacular golden blooms of Palo Verde trees, and graceful violet-blue flowers, shimmering in the summer sunlight, complemented by undulating creamy tan grass fountains.
Designed by WA Design for long-lasting color and interest, this naturalistic, low-maintenance combination includes Santolina or Lavender Cotton (Santolina chamaecyparissus), English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia), and the stunning Mexican Feather Grass (Nassella tenuissima or Stipa tenuissima). A charming casual mix of colors and textures that can be easily replicated in many full sun gardens.

A crucial component of the overall design objective on each project is to apply the design of sustainable and solar features as an integral component of the architecture. From initial building siting concepts through building organization and material selection, each phase is approached with sustainable ideas at the forefront of the design decisions.
