How to add colour in a monochrome yard

I am going to assume your yard has mostly sunny areas, so here are five ways to easily add some colorful spots to your small garden to brighten it up, keep it low maintenance, water friendly, and fit into your small area.

1. Add Succulents

In your climate zone which is around a USDA Zone 8 to 9

Zone 8:
(10 to 20° F, -12 to -7° C)

Zone 9:
(20 to 30° F, -7 to -1° C)

You can easily support the growth of succulents. Many people don't use succulents to their best advantage because they think they are boring, but with so many new varieties available now, don't overlook these useful plants!

They come in all shades of gray, gray-blue, green, red, purple, and pink foliage, and many flower profusely for several months out of the year.

Just look at some of these pictures for ideas and to see how they could easily brighten up your yard!





2. Add Hanging Baskets

Another quick and easy way to add color to your yard is to have a few hanging baskets. They are fast to make, easy to care for, and take up very little space.



3. Add Plants With Different Sizes, Variegated Leaves, And Texture

There are so many different varieties of trees and shrubs these days, it's easy to pick out plants that, just through their color and texture, can add a lot to a yard or garden. Plants such as hosta, viburnum, and maple.





4. Add Plants With Different Leaf Color

Plants like Coleus, Croton, or New Zealand Flax (Phormium) naturally add interest with their bold colors.





5. Add Colorful Pots

We talked about this last month (Add A Bold Statement With Colorful Post), that by just adding a few colorful pots, with or without plants, you can really add some zest and pop to your yard.



Thanks for the question Chantell; see you all next month with another Gardening Design Idea!
