Get the colour in!
AS we hit those long hot days at the peak of summer, now is the perfect opportunity to generate some heat in the flower garden and feed our senses with a rich palette of warm colours.
Nature knows what it’s doing with its seasonal tones – the intensity of the hottest of summer flower colours is perfect for soaking up bright sunshine and illuminating our borders and pots as they absorb all the available light.
There’s a richness to summer yellows that makes them seem opulent and golden, compared to the first gentle yellows of spring. Meanwhile, warmer reds and oranges are seeping into garden colour schemes and many of the taller, prairie-style perennials are aiming for the sun and fighting for pole position to attract the myriad pollinators.
