Design tips
- Blue does not define borders and therefore makes a space look bigger. It is especially useful for toning down bright colours and works well in sunny spots.
- White can look pale and washed-out, so in full sunlight it should preferably be planted among other colours. It is perfect for brightening up shady gardens, as well as for use in beds that are illuminated at night.
- Hide unsightly elements, such as the compost heap or a dog kennel, by planting a creeper – such as fragrant, snow-white star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) – against it.
- Purple, blue or white petunias form a cool, colourful groundcover when planted around larger shrubs in pots. Also sow white alyssum in open areas.
- White flags (Spathiphylum) are well known as indoor plants but in subtropical regions they will grow well in the shade of big trees.
