color concepts

in the country

September 29th, 2011

being an artist, i love to pay with color contrasts in the garden.  whether it’s flower or foliage color i’m working with, i love to pit warm colors against cool, red against green, silver against purple.  these days there are so many great foliage plants that come in a rainbow of colors.  i love coleus in red and almost black, silver grey salvia and black elephant ears.put warm next to cool and mix it all together for inspiration all summer long.
