The orange-flowering canna, the tallest plant, sits in the back of the summer planting. A dark coleus is on the inside of each pot and the orange-red coleus sits opposite so the containers mirror each other. The chartreuse creeping Jenny spills out the sides, and the orange million bells and the yellow tickseed grow in front. “Think thriller, filler and spiller,” Young says, referring to the common rule for grouping plants in a pot.
The driveway and entry walk are both poured-in-place unstained concrete pavers and loose stone, blending to form a seamless landscape feature. A sealer protects the pavers from oil and surface dirt. Washed round river rock fills the gaps between the pavers.
