Bold And Flamboyant

Give your garden a burst of colour with these blooms

October 23, 2014

Design tips

• Plants with bright foliage and warm colours have to be used carefully. Grow large patches of one type to create informal splashes of colour – and keep complementary colours together.
• Use neutral colours, such as white and grey, to offset warmer colours.
• Use a broad strip of one colour to lead the eye to a focal point.
• Bright colour has a greater impact when used in shady spots.
• Repeat accent colours found in your living room on the verandah and in the garden.
