Notable Features: Purple-flowering De La Mina lilac verbena lines one side of the driveway of this traditional California Ranch home. In this sizable front yard, sections vary from full sun to deep shade. In sunny spots, white sage, Concha ceanothus, and deergrass thrive with wild flowers, such as elegant clarkia, California poppy, five-spot, and Chinese houses. In shadier zones, look for bush anemone, western sword fern, and pink honeysuckle.
