Multiple Personality Garden Needs Therapy

18 years ago

In the Gallery, I've posted a picture of my yard that was installed less than 1 year ago (we've got great silicon valley soil so things grow fast). In that time, I have moved/changed/exchanged all of the plants that you can see, at least a couple of times, except the trees. This view is from my back door looking west.

I don't feel like this is as cohesive as I would like so I would like to ask this group for help (my budget and my husband would be grateful!). Do I have too many plants, should I approach my groupings differently (I feel that it has a busy confetti look). I do love a tropical-looking garden and have a few such plants but can't really figure out how to pull it all together. Any recommendations are appreciated.

The plants I have are as follows:

licorice plant (limelight)

bergenia (green

Hydrangea (white)

Camellias (dark pink/red)

cordyline festival grass (purple)

brugmansia

geraniums (red)

roses (white and red-ish)

golden euonymous

mandevilla

ginger plant

gardenias
