Add some colour to your garden this season

Just because the spring and summer blooms are waning doesn’t mean you have to give up on plant life in your garden. There are plenty of species that will give a burst of colour through the coming months. Fill planters with cyclamens, marigolds, winter violas, zinnias, calendula or rudbeckias for a stunning array of vivid shades that will give your garden, patio or balcony a real boost. Mix them up for a carnival of colour or carefully select certain varieties to create a set palette of autumnal oranges and yellows or a symphony of mauves and dark pinks to compliment your space and décor.

Get ahead in spring by layering a container with bulbs like nerine, autumn crocuses, and cyclamen, which will provide an abundance of colour during drearier months. For a stunning, low-maintenance option that embraces nature at its best, incorporate trees and vines that will produce lush green coverage during spring and summer, only to transform during autumn to showcase rich red and alluring gold hues. The perfect autumnal backdrop for your outdoor space without you having to lift a finger! 

For a real style statement and an instant shot of colour, consider investing in a vibrant collection of colourful garden furniture. Or maybe give your existing set a facelift with a lick of paint. If you’re nervous about wielding a paintbrush without a plan or aren’t sure which shades would look best, do some research and get colourful garden furniture ideas and inspiration from sites like Pinterest first. It’s also worth looking at the best way to protect painted furniture from the elements.
