Smart planning for your flower beds can lead to significant water and time savings. According to National Geographic, consider "companion planting" by grouping certain plants together to help them grow mutually. By planting taller, sun-loving plants in the front with shorter, shade-loving plants in back, they help each other thrive. The taller plants block the sun's rays and help reduce evaporation of water on the shorter plants. The symbiotic planting will help your flower beds thrive.
