If you want to enjoy a front yard garden full of texture and color every year, go for perennial plants. Once planted, they will also require less maintenance.
You can choose from various perennials to design a unique front yard garden.
There are evergreen varieties that keep their foliage throughout winter. Some bloom in spring, others in summer, and after their flowers fade away, they preserve their roots for next year.
If you have been convinced to make a perennial garden bed in the front yard, check out these 17 Stunning Perennial Garden Layout Ideas for Transforming Your Front Yard Into a Blooming Paradise.
1. Beginner-friendly Perennial Garden
This is an easy garden plan for beginners or people who don’t have much time. It features a mix of heat-resistant perennials.
Some of them grow in tufts, and others reach heights, and these features make the garden interesting and beautiful.
This reliable combination of Ornamental Onions, Daisies, Boxwood, shrubs, and trees creates a colorful and welcoming front yard garden.
2. Mimic Nature Garden Layout
Include blooming groundcovers that will fill the empty spaces between shrubs and flowers.
Some groundcovers bloom in autumn and spring, and others in summer, so you can easily match them with the already-planted perennials and create a wonderful flower carpet in the front yard.
3. Front Yard Landscape With Flower Tufts
Perennials entirely cover this small front yard. Tufts from Japanese maples, Lavender and Cotoneaster decorate the tile walkway leading to the front door.
On the porch, climbing roses and green vines unfold to welcome with texture, beauty and fragrance.
4. Lilac Perennials
The perennial garden of this front yard has a color pattern. The blooming perennials are purple and dark blue. They are combined with evergreen shrubs and trees, ensuring a great contrast for the flowers.
The garden is divided into garden beds among a well-maintained lawn surrounding the walkway through the yard.
5. Symmetrical Garden Beds
This front yard garden covers part of the free yard space on both sides of a flagstone walkway. The perennials are cultivated field flowers that are very resistant to any environment.
This flower’s mix of heights, colors, and textures creates an authentic natural landscape that makes this yard cheerful and beautiful.
6. Front Yard Garden With Shrubs
If you prefer a front yard garden that requires little maintenance and makes a statement, go for blooming shrubs.
They will form significant shrubs, and when the flowers fade away, their leafy mass will still make an impact.
7. Edged Garden Bed
Garden edges can give a front yard a more sophisticated and finished look.
They can also blend the garden with the patio. In this front yard design, the patio’s white stone tiles are complemented by small white stone tiles stacked to form a garden bed for lavender.
8. A Perennial Border
This garden with perennials surrounds a gravel patio. The mix of thick boxwood shrubs at the back and purple flowers at the front creates a lush border between the house and the entertainment area.
The flower varieties chosen for this garden are Ornamental Onion and Salvia, which are planted in sections that visually create an ombre effect with the shades of their flowers.
9. White Flower Varieties In One Garden Bed
The design of this small side garden aimed to reflect the warmth and friendliness of the family that owns the house. Therefore, the flower combination combines delicate white, blue, and yellow flowers and ornamental greenery.
Each flower kind is planted independently to form an impacting tuft among the greenery.
10. Perennial Rock Garden
There are perennial varieties that can thrive in poor soils and rock gardens. Despite the conditions, the combination of leafy succulents and blooming varieties can create the desired beautiful front yard garden.
Creeping Phlox, Deadnettle, and Candytuft are among the blooming plants suitable for rock gardens that will create a colorful character.
11. Cottage Garden
The cottage style of front yard garden creates a beautiful natural landscape that is casual and inspiring. Although cottage gardens look like they just kind of happen, they do require planning and designing regarding varieties, sun exposure, and soil properties.
Dahlias, lavender, hydrangeas, columbines, and campanulas are the best perennial flowers for a cottage garden.
12. Bushes In A Desert
This front yard garden design creates the impression of flowers in the desert.
This impression is imposed by the pea gravel cover of the soil and the relatively big distances between the tufts and the shrubs, as if wildings.
13. Water-wise Plants
This front yard garden is divided into sections. Some flower beds are covered with mulch, others with stones to create the final look of a rock garden.
The plants are water-wise varieties, and the soil coverage helps with drainage.
14. Fairy Scene
The front yard of this home has been transformed into a fairy tale landscape by creating striking perennial garden beds on both sides of a flagstone walkway.
As you pass the gate, the garden beds at the beginning of the yard are planted with short flowers. As you go up, the walkway ascends thanks to steps.
The adjacent flower beds are filled with perennials that grow in tufts, creating interest with their heights.
15. Drought-tolerant Garden Layout
This front yard features gravel garden beds interrupted by a curved stone walkway. You may think that drought-tolerant plants are boring and poor, but this garden landscape idea proves the contrary.
You can find varieties that form blooming tufts and combine them with green groundcovers.
16. Farm Front Yard Garden Design
The restoration of this old farm also included redesigning and updating the front garden bed. The aim was to keep the layout and design as authentic as possible.
The arrangement of the flower beds puts the blooming varieties in the front and next to the walkway. The greenery creates a lush backdrop, and I am also interested in the variety of shrubs and trees included in the garden.
