Vacation vibes this way - the 12 best plants to place around pools work in any backyard for a feeling of glorious relaxation

Landscaping your poolside space with a selection of gorgeous plants can turn it into a lush oasis, as well as provide additional shade and privacy. To ensure the longevity of your planting scheme it's key to put the needs of your plants first.

When considering how to get the planting right for your pool area it’s important to make your selection according to your climate. If your yard is baking in record temperatures, it makes sense to go for succulents and other drought tolerant planting ideas. If you live in a cooler climate, remember that any tropical blooms you may have chosen for that vacay vibe will need to be cared for in the correct way at the end of summer when the temperature drops.
