Colour-Themed Borders
Garden borders designed around harmonious seasonal colour palettes.
Colour-themed borders turn planting into a designed experience — hot schemes, cool pastels, or seasonal colour stories. Start with a palette, then choose plants that deliver those hues at the right time of year.
Design tips
- Pick 3–5 core colours and repeat them so the border feels intentional.
- Include foliage colour — silver, purple and chartreuse extend the palette.
- Plan succession so spring, summer and autumn each carry the theme.
- Use white or soft green as a buffer between stronger colour blocks.
- View the scheme from key windows and paths before finalising plant quantities.
