Garden Design Expert Linda Vater designs this front yard garden bed to display bold sun-loving color that can stand up to the Oklahoma sun. Autumn Fire® is the star, joined by Purple Daydream Dwarf Loropetalum and ‘Kaleidoscope’ Abelia from the Southern Living Plant Collection.
Linda also shares a pro tip with us: instead of spending time and money replacing flats of annual color with bedding plants, she’s found the secret — reblooming plants like these tough shrubs offer beautiful color, season after season.
