The best plants for the front garden add color and interest throughout all four seasons. Green’s Gardens Rare Heirloom 20 Hydrangea Seeds is a great choice because these shrubs will bloom in shades of pink, blue, and purple from early summer to late fall. In addition to their beautiful flowers, hydrangeas are also evergreen, meaning they retain their leaves throughout winter months, providing year-round interest to your garden.
Sedum spectabile( showy sedum or stonecrop)
This product was recommended by Samantha Odo from Precondo
I prefer low-maintenance plants that will provide my front garden with interest and color. One plant that meets this criterion is Sedum spectabile, also known as showy sedum or stonecrop. This plant is a succulent that is drought-tolerant and can tolerate poor soil conditions. It produces pink flowers in the summer, and its leaves turn a reddish color in the fall. Some people might prefer to have a plant that is low-maintenance and can tolerate a lot of suns, such as sedum. Others might prefer a plant that is more decorative and provides some color to the front garden, such as a daylily. Ultimately, the best plant to have in the front garden is the one that the gardener enjoys the most.

They are easily findable in most locations, and are fairly easy to maintain given a little bit of attention, so even perfect for those who don’t consider themselves green-fingered.
Japanese Boxwood
This product was recommended by Vikas Chaudhary from Nihal Fashions
The plant is also known as a ‘baby gem.’ It is called so because its leaves are glossy and shine under the Sun as a gem. The plant grows gradually and can reach a maximum height of 4 feet and the same width. Boxwood comes in many varieties, such as American and English, but Japanese boxwood is the most popular.
American Wisteria
This product was recommended by Alex Tinsman from How To Houseplant
I love any front yards that contain Wisterias – they have amazing blue/purple blooms and really add character to a house. Lots of people seem to grow their Wisteria up against the side of their property, or using a pergola, as this is a vine that grows fairly quickly. My particular favorite is the American Wisteria, a native variety for people based in the US.

The significant impact they add to your curb appeal makes magnolia trees a handsome and practical addition to your front yard.
Sweet Potato Plants
This product was recommended by John Thomas from Backyard Garden Geek
I’ve found that sweet potatoes are a surprisingly wonderful addition to a front yard garden, either in pots or the ground. They produce abundant green vines that no HOA president could ever complain about, which also happen to be delicious when cooked properly. If your front yard garden has relatively loose soil–and if you plant your sweet potato slips at the right time of year–you’ll be able to dig sweet potatoes out of the ground in 3-5 months.
