Yellow & Violet Gardens – Complementary Color Schemes
When it comes to complementary color pairings for the garden (those hues opposite from one another on the color wheel), few are more vibrant and eye-catching as yellow and violet. Whether you opt for the drama of brilliant yellow set against deep aubergine, a classic spring palette of soft butter and gentle lilac or any combo in between, a yellow and violet garden is guaranteed to be a scene-stealer in your landscape. Incorporate a variety of textures and heights (taller plantings in the back) for lush results. Some plants to consider:
