AROUND THE HOUSE: PLAN A SUNNY PATIO GARDEN

Summer-blooming bulbs make it easy to turn a sunny patio into a showplace. Flowers and colorful foliage add a neat, professional look to your home and create outdoor rooms that feel intimate and inviting. Summer entertaining is more fun when you feel as proud of your patio as you do of your home.

The patio below features border dahlias (behind the stone wall), sun-tolerant caladiums (in the garden bed, behind the stone wall and in containers) and canna lilies (in containers).
