This might of been a good subject to catch your eye, but I would like to
add a new thread to the list. As you know, we all join this mailing
list to learn more about perennials and their companion plants. The
main concern to me is understanding the relationship of colors in the
perennial border. I have spent many hours trying to align my colors to
provide a picture perfect effect as we all have seen in our favorite
books.
I have seen borders which focus on hot colors and others which are just
simply white. But I would like to use a wide range of colors. This can
be accomplished by using the foliage of a leaf to the color of the
flower.
Now, I have read and if my memory is correct, do you place opposite
colors next to each other or I am totally of base and you need to align
your plant colors in relationship to the color spectrum?
What advise would you give for planning a perennial border which focuses
on a broad range of color?
