Purple

The color purple brings a touch of delicacy and a sense of calm to garden plantings. From light lilac tones to deep plum shades, purple flowers work perfectly as a soothing element among colorful blooms, or conversely, create a beautiful contrast to white and yellow flowers. They fit beautifully into relaxed perennial beds as well as more regular shapes in a modern garden. Among the staples in these colors are many spring bulbs as well as summer species.
