4 Winning Plant Combinations - Year-Round Garden Design

Christopher Lloyd, a gardening legend, outlines how to thoughtfully plan your garden using succession planting techniques. In this video, we focus on how to design for year-round color, texture, and interest with the right choice of plants, perfect for ornamental gardening in your home.

We’ll walk through the basic principles of succession planting and how you can apply them to create a continuous show of blooms, foliage, and seasonal beauty. Learn how to manage planting schedules, select the best ornamental plants for different times of the year, and create a visually dynamic garden that changes with the seasons.

In this video, we cover 4 plant combinations we can use in our Midwest gardens to help us create gardens that look great all season.

At Garden Moxie, I want to inspire Midwest gardeners to transform their everyday yards into charming retreats. By sharing practical tips, regional insights, and historical garden wisdom, I help you create a garden to enjoy all year long.

My garden is located in SE Michigan USA (Zone 6a). I believe that gardens are more than just pretty flowers. Gardens help us escape the stress and pressure of daily life. Building a beautiful home and garden matters. It’s important work.
