The area to design is not very big, but I am struggling with choosing some plants that I like and not being able to match them with what we already have or not matching with the overall design. Please help. It's a mainly a full sun area.. one of the pictures shows the side part with a little partly shade area. thanks

11 år sidenIs that a big yucca behind the pool? olldj22 is right. Without knowing where your house is, we can't give you any specific advice on plants. For example: are you in LA or Miami? Both are considered Zone 10, so you'd expect the same plants. Well, Miami is a lot more humid and wet than LA, so desert plants that thrive there might survive here, but they'll never look as nice as they do in LA. Lush, leafy tropicals that are low-maintenance plants here in S Florida, will require tons of water in LA.avdalyan
Forfatter11 år sidenThank you very much for your comments. I am adding one more picture since that one is dark. I'm not sure about the name of the plant. That's the only big plant left. The house is in California/ Sacramento. We had palm on both sides of the big plant, but they are dead due to cold winter. I also added some pictures of the kind of plans that I like. Not sure if they will work together or how to incorporate them. Thanksavdalyan

11 år sidenYou are looking at a sago palm (last one) should work fine, the red leafed plant looks like a berberis tom thumb (atropurpura) I have seen it grown in the UK and in Switzerland..., the rounded ones look like boxwood and in Europe boxwood blight is all the rage (not good); i don't know what the tall purple one is, but a phormium new zealand is like that without the trunk - doesn't like very cold winters and didn't survive in my Swiss garden!ASVInteriors

11 år sidenSince you have stones in other areas, I'd keep the stones, & use weed killer in the one back area (as I said above). I think the tall purple one is a cordyline (red leaf dracena). It would look good in the raised bed with this silver ground cover.Turtle Rock House · Mere information
Or in the raised bed you could have 3-5 sago plants with a ground cover (this looks like a red" wandering jew")Partial Rear Elevation · Mere information
In the area that looks somewhat overgrown. I'd clean it out and plant ivy geranium as a ground cover, maybe white.
