Couldn't help but show off a planter and planting that I did the other day. I wouldn't call it native, but it is quite fetching (if I do say so myself!). We're going for a sun-drenched minimalist Mediterranean theme here, and the photo above shows a transition. The Festuca idahoensis towards the back will ring this bed while the Sage and Aeonium will be transplanted into the back garden.
In the planter I've got an olive, some Hidcote lavenders, a few Erigeron and a purple potato vine thrown in for good measure. The plants are a bit new, but they should fill in in no time!
