This was a refresh of an existing bed along the front of a client's home. It shows how natives can be used effectively alongside more typically utilized species to add habitat and multi-season interest.

Salvia coccinea in both its white and scarlet form create a splash of color along a path. Butterflies, bees and hummingbirds love to visit this native which tolerates shade better than many flowering plants.

This image hints at how the changing of sunlight throughout the day can highlight different plants or areas. Always take this into account when planning.
