Red garden - red flowers against a brick wall
Colors ranging from yellow, through orange and red to purple, give the impression of warmth. A garden filled with redcan be particularly eye-catching, but it has to be used very carefully. Red is a strong eye-catcher when we look at the garden. This color stimulates activity, affecting the human psyche very dynamically (this effect can be enhanced by combining red with purple). For this reason, red should not be used excessively. Especially if your garden is to be a place where you will look for relaxation and peace.Red flowering plantsshould be used in places that we want to particularly emphasize, which the observer should pay attention to.
Red flowering garden roses, poppies and tulips are typical plants that we associate with red. However, the choice of plants that give this color is, of course, much greater. A very interesting flower arrangement can be created from a red flowering vermilion, scarlet lobelia, dahlias and Chinese carnations.
The source of red in your garden can be not only red flowering plants.You can also useplants with red leaves(from shrubs and trees you can choose, among others, palm maple and red oak, and from vines, red ivy, the leaves of which turn red in autumn), with red shoots (dogwood white), as well as with red fruits (sea buckthorn, horizontal cotoneaster, rowan). It is worth noting that red shoots of dogwood and red fruits of rowan and cotoneaster will decorate the garden also in winter.
In autumn, the leaves of the euonymus also change their color to a wonderful, intensely red color.
Red to the gardencan also be introduced by using a brick. You can build retaining walls from it and create elements of small garden architecture.
Note!Red, combined with yellow, goes wrong with the cold tones of pink and purple. Try to avoid such combinations. Green is a good complement to red.
