Plan sightlines from key seating areas
Choose dwarf or compact varieties for easier care
Incorporate raised beds for reduced bending

Maintenance Guidance

Keep systems simple with irrigation zones and mulched beds. Regular, small tasks prevent big workloads and preserve plant health.

Water deeply, less often, early in the day
Feed with slow-release nutrients per season
Remove spent blooms to encourage vigor
