We’re proud to continue our decade-long tradition of contributing Southern Living® Plant Collection varieties to the 2025 Southern Living Idea House—bringing dependable beauty, regional charm, and lasting color to landscapes designed to inspire. Set on a serene five-acre parcel, and thoughtfully designed by Waterstreet Studio, this year’s landscape takes cues from the idea of a modern homestead—complete with a fenced vegetable garden, potting shed, and a formal parterre herb garden.
Our Southern Living plants are woven throughout the property, from softening the edges of this striking Arrival Court to framing garden paths and porches with vibrant, easy-care structure. Tidy evergreen layers of Boxwood and fragrant Jubilation™ Gardenia frame the arrival court while serving as a threshold between the picturesque orchard garden and more formal arrival.
Small flowering trees like Star Magnolia offer vertical structure, spring flower and fall color while the evergreen ‘Teddy Bear’ Magnolia provides year-round screening and infuses the landscape with fragrant summer blooms.
