I saw this garden in Salt Lake City the other day. I couldn't help but notice the excellent combination of xeric Utah native plants (I see
Ephedra and
Sagebrush) and bold clumps of flowering tulips.
Spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils are water wise, so you can plant them with other water wise plants and they will survive. They provide a nice burst of color in the spring just as the native perennials and shrubs are leafing out. Gorgeous combination and contrast!
