Friday, August 26

Color scheme and look for your garden

Gardening is an art that can be mastered by any enthusiast with time. It is all about experimenting and putting your ideas into practice. Greenery, indeed, is refreshing and soothing to the eyes but all greens with no bright and lively colors can make your garden look lifeless and ordinary. You would not want to walk into a garden which is cluttered with all greens.

The best way to make your garden organized and appealing is by chalking out a plan before planting anything. You can decide rows, flowerbeds and lanes for hedges. A well planned design will turn out into a beautiful garden. Choosing contrast color combinations and harmonious textures can result is an attractive and colorful garden. However, planting all bright colored plants together can ruin the entire look so you can choose different colors that go well together or for that matter same color with different intensities. Violets look great with pink hues so you can plant lilacs with pink colored flowers. Similarly, you can team up dark green foliage with pastel or pale green textured leaves. You can also play with the color of walls near flowerbeds. They can be adorned with colorful and contrasting tiles or mosaics that make the flowers and foliage of garden stand out drastically.

Factors you should consider

It is also important to know that there are several factors that can alter the effect and intensity of different colors. The lighting, texture of surface and season can impact the overall color effect. Dull lighting makes the color looks paler and bright light makes it stand out. Similarly, nature and changing season can give different hues to the color of your plants. The key is to keep trying out and putting compatible colors together to make the garden look picturesque. So, try out new things and pair up different colors to get the desired effect in your garden!

The Red Cardinal Flower has vibrant red blooms and tall, erect stalks; it adds a splash of color and a touch of elegance to gardens, parks, and various outdoor spaces. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it brings several advantages, making it a popular choice for landscapers and gardeners. Cardinal Flower The scarlet-hued Lobelia cardinalis is a perennial in the bellflower family. Its tall, nectar-filled flower spikes attract hummingbirds and create a beautiful display in your garden. The plant's common name refers to the red robes a Roman Catholic cardinal wears. Natural Habitat Of The Cardinal Flower Lobelia is native to the North and South American continents and blooms from July through September. This moisture-loving plant grows on stream banks and in low woods, marshes, and meadows across the United States. Appearance Of The Cardinal Flower If you want to create a handsome show in your garden, Lobelia is sure to delight. The plant's fiery spires yield brilliant red blooms that open gradually from the bottom to the top of their racemes. Each long, narrow, tube-shaped blossom has two flat upper petals and three lower petals that spread out at the tips. The delicate plant crown leafy 2’-4' stems, covered with shiny, lance-shaped, bright green leaves that sometimes have a bronze or reddish tint. The leaves alternate as they climb the stems, enhancing the blooms to create a lively riot of color. Cardinal Flower In the Garden Lobelia is a favorite of gardeners who love adding bold splashes of crimson to their garden. This plant is perfect for shady woodland plots, wet meadow plantings, water gardens, pollinator gardens, and rain gardens. Its long stems can add height to borders and create depth when placed in the back sections of your landscape. The blossoms are most spectacular from midsummer into fall, and they make excellent cut blooms. Ecology Of The Cardinal Flower Some people say that Lobelia will bring hummingbirds in from the sky. The plant's blooming period is in sync with the late-summer migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds who are traveling south to Mexico. The birds pollinate the plant by dipping their beaks into the plants' long, red tubes. The blossoms are also very attractive to swallowtail butterflies and bees, making them a wonderful centerpiece in a pollinator garden. Cardinal Flower Will Make a Brilliant Statement in Your Garden When you want to make a bold, beautiful statement in your garden, be sure to include Lobelia in your plan and celebrate the summer season.
