A Lighthearted Garden: Heart-Shape Plants

You could call Dinah Mannlein's garden a living valentine. A careful eye detects plants with heart-shaped leaves or flowers all throughout her yard.

Formal garden

Dominating the central backyard, the formal garden teems with plants in soft shades of pink, white and blue, plus a two-tiered cement fountain topped with a pair of white lovebirds. A blue spruce and two Alberta spruces add greenery all year round. The flower bed appears soft and romantic, filled with plants in pinks and blues whose names or identities fit the theme such as roses and love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena).
