Colors of small gardens

Small gardens look larger if they use a limited number of colors and no strong contracts. The abundance of different colors on a small space creates a feeling of anxiety and discomfort. It is good to use the effect of a gradual transition of color tones one to the other or the colors of pastel tones. Blue tones in the background increase the garden optically, especially if there are luminous yellow and red tones in the foreground.

in large gardens, you can use a much richer color scheme;

in gardens that are oriented to the surrounding landscape, you should carefully use groups of trees with foliage, painted in contrasting red tones;

variegated and multicolored tones can be used in rural areas in the style usual for this area;

- at the entrance to the house and around it, always suitable plants can be considered intense colors.

Intensive Colors

With these colors, you can also optically zoom in on the garden's background. Rhododendrons or bright yellow forsypes are distinguished by rj-intensive red color and are widely planted in the rear part of the garden for visual effect.

It is very important to choose the right color ratios. If you decide to use the main color as the dominant one in the composition, then you should select the accompanying colors in a proportional ratio. The influence of color is evaluated in combination with one or more others, greatly enhanced as a result. Attention should be paid to the extent to which the main color is dominant, since the same size, intensely colored surfaces, located side by side, usually look rather boring and monotonous, creating the effect of monotony. When creating color compositions it is extremely important to learn how to use neutral colors.

Occurring in nature bright colors usually do not occupy significant space on the surrounding background, they stand out for the most part as separate islets. Therefore, the usual green color for foliage is used as the main color tone in summer.garden is particularly important to consider when registering. Using a wealth of shades of the primary color, you can build a perspective( from trees, shrubs, grasses and ground cover) with a variety of alternating colors and colors throughout the year. Green color is often so intense that almost does not require additional color accentuation. The more varied in color the foreground, the greater the proportion of neutral colors.

In nature, in addition to green and white, there are many additional intermediate colors of leaves and grasses. For example, blue-green, silver-green, bronze, gold and copper. Silvery plants perform the role of white in the flower composition. Plants of pastel color tones are best planted in the foreground: they have the same effect as the colors of smoky shades in the distance. Since a set of flowering plants on a site varies in time depending on the period of their flowering, constant changes in the game of color occur.

A well-thought-out layout allows the use of various plants to maintain the

constantly the same color background or, for example, depending on the time of the year, constantly seek new color effects.

Gammu of yellow-orange colors of have flowers or inflorescences of annual flower crops: marigolds, demorphoteks, calendula, cosmos of sulfur yellow, lion's pharynx, nasturtium, chrysanthemum, escholtcia;two-year-old pansies;perennial - tulip, narcissus, lily, daylily, koreopsis, chrysanthemum, rudbeckia, gaylard.

Red, dark-colored and pink flowers or inflorescences are annual: amaranth, astra, verbena, cloves, godemia, sweet peas, clarke, space, lemon, lion's pelt, poppy, driftwood, petunia, porcelain, phlox Drummond, zinnia,sage;biennial - carnations, daisies, pansies, shtroroza;perennial: tulip, peony, gladiolus, phlox, aquilegia, astilba, dahlia, tuber begonia, oriental poppy, lupine, carnation, pyrethrum, clematis and rose.

Blue, blue, lilac or purple tones create flowers of the following crops: annual - ageratum, aster, cornflower, sweet peas, lemon, lobelia, petunia, scabiosa;two-year-olds - pansies, hesperis, bell, forget-me-not;perennial - tulip, hyacinth, muscari, scylla, cinnamon, autumn crocus, crocus, iris, phlox, gladiolus, dahlias, function, aquilegia, primula, delphinium.

1. Color triangle

In the light spectrum it is possible to construct an equilateral triangle, the vertex, which as a result of its enemy fall on all new color tones. Under the condition of an equilateral triangle, permanent bright combinations of colors( for example, red, blue, yellow) are formed, which are harmoniously combined by transition through clarified and darkened forms.

2. Color transition

Neighboring colors of one or two color wheel segments can form a harmonious attractive combination. In this case, however, it is necessary to separate cold and warm tones. If you add carefully one or two contrasting colors, the composition will be even more picturesque, lively.

3- Color combinations

Opposite tones in the light spectrum are called complementary colors. In combination with each other, they increase the visual tension. If the tones( for example, blue-orange ones) do not differ in purity, but are clarified with white or darkened, as a result, the sharpness of the contrast decreases

The richest variety of flower crop shapes allows creating a wide variety of compositions in which any - plants can be usedcurved to dwarf and ground cover. Knowledge of the laws of color solution will make the composition harmonious, emphasizing the beauty of each plant

White flower beds or inflorescences have annuals: arctotis, aster, cornflower, carnation, di morphoteca, sweet peas, Iberis, space, lemon, lobularia, snapdragon, poppy,petunia, tobaccos, phlox Drummond, chrysanthemum and zinnia;biennial - carnations, bell, daisy, pansies;perennial - tulip, narcissus, hyacinth, lilies, galanthus, crocus, peony, iris, gladiolus, phlox, astilba, dahlia, tuber begonia, aquilegia, primula, lupine, ladle, pyrethrum, clove.
