Welcoming Doors in Dallas Landscape Design

Welcoming Doors and Drive / Dallas Landscape Design

Ready for summer with a classic combination of Geraniums, red and orange, and gray Dusty Miller with Candy Tuft tucked in for a frosty white color.

The Texas Classic: Mexican Pottery filled with yellow Candlestick plant, unfortunately an annual in North Texas but it does come back in South Texas.

Containers flank patio doors and echo the stonework’s color.

Sleek design with self watering flower pots. Palms with aspidistra and impatiens for annual color. Those look like the slow growing Sago Palms in the containers and the larger Windmill palm which is very hardy, slow-growing with fibrous trunks. It typically makes it through Dallas winters, though in some cases wrapping in winter is best. Under ten degrees and it may not make it. (Wrapping a palm is a lot of work.)

Aspidistra is the long leaved green plant also known as Cast Iron Plant because of its hardiness and the rust colored portions of a leaf after a hard winter. Aspidistra is a traditional southern perennial.

Tall flower pots great containers fro shrubs allowing deep roots.
