Plants don’t like being loners

I think every new landscape enthusiast has done it…. including myself. Let’s put this plant here and another one here and another here. Next thing you know, you’ve got a row of individual plants that are in no way connected to each other, nor do they flow into their neighboring species.

I’d say this reigns true (almost) always. PLANT IN GROUPS!!! Group planting or mass planting is the best way to make your garden look full and cohesive. A beautiful garden has many colors and textures that flow seemlessly into one another. It’s almost impossible to achieve that luscious look by putting your plants alone on an island. Start planting at least 3 of the same plant together and the more, the merrier. Use odd number quantities 3, 5, 7, and so on…

As these plants mature they’ll look like a uniform group instead of one disparate plant.
