I created this landscape about 10 years ago for some wonderful clients. The design was based using complementarity colors, purple and yellow. Below are some photos from the landscape long with the details on the plants used. I am trying to find a easy way to breakdown a landscape and identify plants for novices who would like to recreate the look. Let me know if you like this method or have any suggestions.
