One of the design tricks which is very effective and easy to use is to make small changes to take the look of your plants from the ordinary to extraordinary.
But before you waste your time and money on exotic and unusual plants, take a look at the plants that do well in your own natural environment or which are garden stalwarts – but give them a “glow up”.
So for example, rather than having Verbena bonariensis, you could try Verbena Bampton - her effortlessly cool younger cousin. She is similarly happy in poor, dry soil and with self-seeding qualities, but with far more interest given her dark purple stems and dirty pink flowers in mattress coil like forms.
Pair it with white lavender and I promise you will have a front garden like none of your neighbours.
