Dress up any awkward spots with this long-blooming garden plan, which features no-fuss plants that offer flowers and foliage in harmonious pink, purple, blue, and white hues. An elegant, evergreen blue spruce serves as the focal point, surrounded by beautiful blooming perennials and shrubs, such as peonies, hydrangeas, and irises. A clematis will provide vertical interest as it scrambles up a fence, arbor, or other support structure. Together, these easy-care plants will turn an uninteresting corner of your landscape into a colorful display that will last through the seasons.
