Grow A Xeric Aroma Garden

(HIT) - Preplanned gardens are all the rage because they combine an assortment of plants with similar growing needs and the pleasing-to-the-eye design skills of a professional landscaper. The Xeric Aroma Garden grows to create a living potpourri by bringing together the pleasures of scent and color.



Designed by nationally renowned plant experts Scott Ogden and Lauren Springer Ogden, the Xeric Aroma Garden features plants with wonderfully colorful flowers in shades of raspberry red, orange, yellow, blue and pink. Butterflies and hummingbirds love this nectar-rich garden, but the strongly scented foliage and flowers are bitter and unpalatable to deer and rabbits.

When fully mature, the 22 waterwise plants in this preplanned garden fill a rectangular area five feet wide by nine feet long. The Xeric Aroma Garden sells for $120.78 exclusively from High Country Gardens, 1-800-925-9387, www.highcountrygardens.com.
