Crops with a silvery sheen stand out superbly towards the ocean of inexperienced that fills most backyard beds. On this episode, Danielle, Carol, and their visitor will spotlight some shimmering shrubs, drought-tolerant perennials, a tiny dwarf conifer, and even an uncommon silvery vine with a little bit of a again story. Maybe one among these pretty, luminous vegetation might be the silver bullet resolution to one among your individual backyard design dilemmas.
