Trendy bed head gardens are casual, effortless – even sexy. See if this fresh garden trend is right for you.

Landscape designer Danilo Maffei defines a bed head garden as “an imprecise blend of structure, glamour and randomness, like…your mate who rolls out of bed, eyes droopy…hair cranked to one side, but her natural beauty shines through all the same.” Key elements include ornamental grasses, natives and drought-tolerant plants. This Pennsylvania garden, designed by Maffei, includes early and mid-season bulbs to keep the garden interesting throughout the growing season, since most of its native grasses will peak in late summer and fall.
