The Colour Wheel
Use the colour wheel to give your garden personality. Choose colours from the colour wheel that reflect the type of garden you want.
Neighbouring Colours: Create a soft effect in your garden using colours next to each other on the colour wheel. Use both light and dark shades
Opposite Colours: Create a dramatic garden effect using colours directly opposite each other on the colour wheel, such as violet and yellow, blue and orange, or red and green.
Flexible Colours: Some colours are flexible, such as pink and white, and can be paired with any number of colour selections.
Creating a Mood: : Create a garden that will energize you and invoke a feeling of excitement by choosing colours on the right side of the colour wheel, such as red, orange and yellow.
For a calm and soothing feeling, use colours on the left side of the colour wheel, such as green, blue and purple.
The colour wheel is a guide only. If you choose plant colours that you love, your garden will always bring you joy and be a unique reflection of you.
