Garden tip: Bring some native plant color into your garden via Mercury News
A native plant garden can be a habitat garden providing food and shelter for bird, bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. It can be a low-maintenance garden and a drought-tolerant garden. The question is will it be pretty and have year-round color?

For spring color, plant ceanothus ‘Ray Hartman,’ or penstemon.
