Which flower is good for the front yard?
Flower bed ideas for your front yard include fast-growing lantanas, plumerias, canna lilies and tropical hibiscus. Some of these will also thrive in other regions, although they’ll perish when the temperatures drop. 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.
What flowers like the afternoon sun?
Sun loving coleus and bronze leafed wax begonias may work. Just keep the soil moist. Purple Heart (Setcreasea purpurea), pentas, and four o’clocks are other annuals to consider. For perennials try dwarf Mexican petunia (Ruellia), lilyturf, daylilies, and speedwell (Veronica). Some great choices for perennials which love sun and don’t need as much water are: monarda (bee balm) purple coneflower (echinacea) and my current fave, salvia’Purple and Bloom’, which is anise scented and the rockstar of my pollinator garden. Like, everything fights over this one!
