This larger garden is designed for hot, sunny, sites like those found against garage walls, along driveways, or in raised brick planter beds. Perfect for that inferno strip (also called hell strip or parking strip, the space between the sidewalk and street) where nothing seems to grow. It includes a mix of North American native plants as well as plants from around the world. Pair with our Soft Colors Garden Fall-Planted Bulb Collection.

"The garden has surpassed all expectations, filling in nicely and covered with bees and butterflys. We live on a somewhat busy neighborhood street and many cars slow down for a closer look. The entire community is brightened. If you are considering this garden, do yourself and your neighbors a favor and buy it! I did install drip-line and used natural wood mulch which I believe helps."
"We planted these on April 12, 2025, and then had a wind and snowstorm. The plants are doing amazing. They arrived healthy on a Tuesday, and I kept them moist until we were ready to plant on the weekend. I was a little worried, but they are all doing beautifully. Now, I want to plant the rest of the planters. I can't wait to see how they do this summer."
"I decided to have a perennial flower bed instead of an herb garden this year. I received the pre-planned garden on 3/31/25. Attached is a picture of it. I enjoy watching them grow and look forward to them blooming. I'll follow up with pictures."
"Beyond happy with this beautiful, water wise pre-planned garden! Major curb appeal, the entire neighborhood has been watching and commenting on the progress. I cannot believe how fast and strong these plants have grown in just 2 months. They arrived small, and some were puny looking but all are thriving. I purchased the large and small version to fill our space, added a drip system and natural mulch. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds love it too!"
"We received our pre planned garden in May and planted it right away. It was packaged perfectly and labeled well. Established itself with nearly 0 maintenance and has already became a true pollinator and hummingbird habitat within 2 months! We are so happy with our purchase and will be burning again from high country gardens."
"I prepared a nice semi circular garden bed on our front lawn. This is a new to us house, but an older house with no real dedicated garden spaces. I've used a good amended garden blend of soil with an adequate amount of sand in it for enhanced drainage in our wet PNW winters I have high hopes for a very colourful garden once these plants take off"
"Really strong healthy roots and can't believe how quickly taking off after only 5 weeks."
"bought a total of 42 plants 38 eight arrived with great size and seemed to transplanted well 4 arrived a little puny the one set of 2 is about 50-50 on survival the other set i doubt will survive just was not a hardy specimen when it arrived and has shown no sign of starting to grow"
"Mixed opinions on it, most arrived healthy and seemed to transplant well while others looked about dead and don't look like they will survive. #Sweepstakes"
"These came well packaged and healthy. Two plants were missing but customer service addressed it quickly. Plants are growing well and look beautiful along the front of my house. #sweepstakes"
