12 perennials, 9 shrubs, and 4 bulbs and 3 ground covers that will thrive in gardens with 6+ hours of sun, tolerate hot summers -- and give a gorgeous, romantic feel.
It is so overwhelming to see beautiful photos of gardens online and then go to the nursery and realize you have no idea what to choose.
As a professional Garden Designer, I have spent the last 6 years mastering exactly what to plants to put in hot, sunny gardens to get a lush, floral cottage feeling -- 12 months out of the year.
This is that list!
This garden collection is for you if you:
Want to transform your existing front or backyard
Are tired of googling plant and garden ideas
Love romantic, soft garden color palettes
Need more blooms and want year-round interest
Need a plan for what exactly to buy in the spring
Are overwhelmed with choices
Have planted flowers that have died in your heat/sun
Cannot spend thousands on a designer
Are working with a landscaper but don't want to leave plant selection up to them
Need to learn how to care for what you are planting
Live in Zones 5-9 and have primarily full sun or full & part sun areas

As a full-time Garden Designer and owner of a small Fine Gardening company that maintains dozens of gardens, I have worked to master which resilient perennials and shrubs will create English country and cottage style gardens in our hot, dry climates and sunny yards.
If you just cannot look at your outdoor space one more day, this collection will absolutely guide you towards the yard of your dreams.
