Plant Tip: Use the Color Theory in the Garden

If you want a pleasing color scheme in your container garden, use the color wheel to decide on the best colors to pair together. (If you can't match in your wardrobe, either, I suggest hanging the color wheel in your closet once you're done with it in the garden!) Flower colors that will compliment each other, according to the color wheel, are purple and yellow, blue and orange, green and red, etc. You can also create a garden with one major color theme. In addition to green foliage, try growing container plants that will all bloom in various shades of white, or purple, or blue! And even if you have mismatched colors in the garden, it will no doubt be beautiful!
