The Garden Pictorial

sepia style

Faded shades of peach and apricot create a retro look
 

Mix apricot, peach, yellow and pink in the same container and you’ll create a retro display that’s bang up to date style wise. The downy leaves and peach blooms of the thalia fuchia provide background height, together with a salmon-pink zonal pelargonium. Underplanting consists of dark coral diascia and dusky pink verbena. The whole scheme is interwoven with two colours of petunia – one apricot, the other candy striped – and the soft butter-yellow foliage of helichrysum.

Season: Summer - June
