The Garden Pictorial

pretty in pink

a contemporary look using traditional favourites
 

Inspired by the grand bedding schemes of the Victorian era, this large cream fibrecrete container is filled with a colourful mix of summer flowers. A scented-leaved pelargonium creates a focal point, its large cream-edged leaves picking up on the colour of the pot. This is again picked up on by the white eyes of the pastel pink zonal pelargoniums and the cream-pink sepals of the fuchsia. Meantime the foliage of the pale pink verbena echoes that of the lead plant while vibrant colour impact is provided by two shades of petunia.

Season: Summer - June
