Dig Your Garden Landscape Design If you are referring to the plant at the very bottom of the photo, it is Stachys "Big Ears" as I indicated. It is a greenish-gray, not dark green. If there is another plant you'd like me to identify, Iet me know!

Love the idea of year-round appeal, and like how the groupings are close -- as opposed to really spread out.

This San Anselmo, CA landscape in Marin county was completely redesigned to replace a large portion of the thirsty lawn. I created curving paths and adjacent areas using decomposed granite (DG) and flagstone. The plantings include CA native plants and other drought tolerant plants chosen to provide year-round color and appeal. Something is always in bloom in this garden!
