What is the best thing to plant in front of a house?
For flower bed ideas for front yards that don’t get a lot of water, or where watering is restricted, try coneflowers, lantanas, yarrows, coreopsis, agaves, butterfly weed and catmints. Red yuccas, yaupon hollies and forsythias are shrubs that can tolerate dry spells or dry climates. To create an amazing front yard, plan a design that combines different colors, textures, shapes and sizes. Planting beds with a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees can achieve this, but also consider elements like planters, mulch, a stepping stone walkway and even a small statue or fountain.
How to arrange flowers in front of a house?
Arrange front yard plants by staying mindful of plant heights, layering plants with the tallest plants along the back, shorter plants in front of them, and ground covers for the front edge. Consider flower colors so they don’t clash but will mesh or complement the others. Colors that are next to each other or across from each other work well together. Think about height. Most flower gardens are tiered, with the tallest plants in the back and the shortest ones up front. Also, try this out: plant annuals in the front so they’re easier to remove and replace each new growing season.
