The Key to Color In Your Garden

Pastels (English style gardens)

• Soft pink
• Powder blue
• Lavender
• Peach

Brights (colors of a carnival)

• Racy reds
• Vibrant orange
• Magenta
• Yellow

Complementary colors (high in contrast)

• Yellow and violet
• Orange and blue
• Green and red

Harmonious Colors (gentle on the eye)

• Blue and violet
• Orange and red
• Yellow and orange

Monochromatic color (shade of the same color)

• Soft pale yellows
• Bright sunny yellows
• Deep golden yellows

I love utilizing all the amazing annuals that can be found at the nurseries. There’s nothing like bringing home beautiful flowers and creating a tapestry of art by planting just the right colors and textures in that special and unique garden bed.
