Colorful Cottage Courtyard

A bubbling fountain and comfortable seating make this courtyard an inviting place to visit with friends and neighbors. Plants with unusual leaves, such as lamb's ears, cannas, coleus, hostas, and ferns, add texture and form. Blooming perennials such as summer phlox (Phlox paniculata), black-eyed Susans, lilies, and coneflowers also thrive here.
