In the spring and summer, it's hard not to admire the yards and gardens around town that are filled with greenery and colorful blooms. If you've always assumed that your yard was too dry, too shady, or that the soil was too sandy to support such beautiful plants—guess again. In fact, these common problems may just inspire you to get more creative with your plant picks.
These hard-to-kill plants are often readily available at nurseries and garden centers, so there's no reason to let a dry, low-light space stop you from creating a showstopping backyard.
