PLAN AN EXOTIC GARDEN WHERE YOU CAN ENJOY PEACEFUL, STARLIT NIGHTS.

 

If you work away from home during the day, evening may be the best time for you to enjoy your garden. Why not plant a garden specifically for twilight pleasure? This free-form plot is designed to snuggle up to a deck or patio. Flowers in pale shades and silvery foliage glow in the dwindling light, while floral perfumes scent the evening air. If a fence or trellis is nearby, plant it with annual moon flower vines to complete the romantic effect. This garden combines shade-loving perennials, placed under the birch tree, with perennials for sun, such as the daylilies, artemisia, and oriental lilies.
