Planting Basics

Practical plant-selection and placement guidance for healthier, more manageable landscapes.

Plants that struggle in the wrong spot cost more in time and money than plants that fit the conditions from the start. This category covers choosing and placing plants so the yard stays healthier and takes less rescuing, written for homeowners who are tired of replacing what died.

Where to start

Where plants go matters as much as which ones you pick, so the yard planning guides are a natural companion. Check plant safety for pets and children before buying.
