| I was asked by a new client to compile a list of vibrantly coloured flowers for their garden that l thought would grow well: Here’s what l suggested. What would you add? Poppies (Papaver rhoeas): These bold scarlet blooms, iconic in their status, add a dramatic burst of colour to any garden, connecting you to a rich cultural heritage. Tulips: The excitement of spring is captured in the variety of brilliant shades these blooms offer—deep reds, purples, and sunny yellows, making them a springtime favourite. Daffodils (Narcissus): With their bright yellow or white trumpets, daffodils have the transformative power to enliven any landscape, signaling the arrival of spring. Dahlias: Offering a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns, dahlias make a striking statement during the summer months. Snapdragons (Antirrhinum): These tall, spiky blooms come in vivid colours, including reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows. Marigolds (Tagetes): Known for their warm, sunny oranges and yellows, marigolds are excellent for adding continuous colour throughout the growing season. Petunias: With a wide range of rich, saturated colours, petunias are perfect for hanging baskets, borders, and containers. Roses: A timeless garden staple, roses are available in almost every vibrant hue imaginable, from deep ruby reds to bright blush pinks. Geraniums: Hardy and colourful, these perennials offer clusters of vivid blooms that can brighten up any patio or border. Fuchsias: With their eye-catching pinks and purples, fuchsias add an exotic touch and perform well in sheltered spots. These choices are popular in the UK for their visual impact and ability to flourish in the local climate. |
