Radiant Red & Orange In The Garden
Color combinations are a very simple way to make a garden stand out beyond the ordinary. While green is usually a garden’s canvas, adding orange and red blooms can bring vibrant and bold color gardens.
Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel and share similar hues are called analogous colors. Orange and red are a perfect example of analogous colors that are considered warm because they are associated with the warmth of the sun. Red and orange, when planted together in the garden, can create a warm color harmony. You can read more about the color wheel and gardening in our Color 101 Guide.
