I put pansies in front of my house. I don't have a color scheme, the house is white. I just mixed them up as I planted them. Keep them watered well over the summer and they should survive. Mine survived over the winter too.





Good Luck!
Reply:I have a jasmine plant in the middle, against the house. On each side of the jasmine I have 4 hostas, two on each side, with iris's in between them. In front of that row I have a row of columbines. In front of the columbines, I have oriental lillies. In front of those I have either pansy's or petunias, depending on the time of year. Since it is starting to warm up, I will be replacing the pansy's with petunias soon. The garden on the other side of the front step matches the garden I just mentioned. I don't really have a color scheme but I do like to have alot of white. White is always a good color.
Reply:I have diascia, salvia, euphorbia, petunia, dusty miller, lamium, coleous, calibrachoa, ipomoea, and alyssum.
Reply:I like the classics... impatiens, petunias, and marigolds. I don't worry too much about colour, but go for the red and white and pink along with the orange marigolds. They look great all summer long.
Reply:If you want low maintenance go with perennials. Plant several different kinds so that you have blooms throughout the season.
Reply:Plant Cosmos. They get 1-2' tall so they are a good scale next to a house. They bloom readily and may even re-seed them selves to return next spring.
