3 is good company

Although three can be tricky in human relationships, this number fits expertly in a landscape. The trick is in the arrangement. Three plants in a row is dull becuse you know what to expect. If you have enough space
group them, instead, in an offset triangle. This looks particularly good with mounding or vertical plants. Be sure to leave some space between the plants, especially if they are three different kinds. You can ever use a garden ornament, like a birdbath, to count as the third item in a set of three.
