Burgundy

The colour burgundy brings depth and a touch of mystery to flowerbeds. Rich shades from dark red to purple work brilliantly as a contrast to soft pastel flowers, but they also hold their own in striking bouquets. You can find these dark tones in many types of plants, from spring bulbs to late autumn perennials. If you are considering how to grow dahlias, you will soon discover that burgundy varieties are among the most interesting and form the perfect base for autumn arrangements. Likewise, dark spring flowers can beautifully liven up a waking garden. Try reading how to grow tulips and plant the burgundy ones next to pure white flowers, which will pleasantly lighten their richness.
