If you have a small space and want to make your garden look bigger,a monochromatic color scheme is your best choice. Using different shades of blue or violet, in a collection of plants, will help your eye move from plant to plant without any interruptions making the space look bigger. When planting in a sunny spot, avoid white and light hues as these can look faded or washed out in direct sun. Instead choose bright, bold colors, such as red, blue, or dark purple. Key elements to making your monochromatic garden work are: 1. Repetition of the same plants through the garden
for visual impact.
Color choices for butterfly gardens One of the most striking theme gardens features White flowers. An all white garden can be elegant and beautiful, having even more impact than a garden filled with color. The flowers and foliage of crisp and simple white have a luminous quality at night, particularly during moonlit evenings. There are many successful monochromatic garden designs, but white tops the list for its elegant simplicity. White gardens have a brightening effect and will light up any dark corners. An all-Green garden, is also very simple to maintain because all the greens go well together: Blue-green, yellow-green, green-grass and green foliage look lovely in groups and different combinations, so it’s nearly impossible to go wrong. To make it interesting, you look for differences in sizes and shape of foliage, as well as different textures of foliage – crinkly or slick and shiny.
