Planting with Colour Summary

Planting with Colour by Penelope Hobhouse

In this book, the authors reveal how they exploit colour to full effect in garden planting. Moving right through the spectrum, they show how each colour can be used to evoke a specific mood or association, from the drama of red to the cool restfulness of blue, from the Eastern spice market of an orange border to the bleached Mediterranean effect of a pastel and silver scheme. Using the borders at Hadspen as case studies, they show how to design with colour, emphasizing the importance of combining shapes and textures of plants to give a scheme structure and rhythm. Seasonal comparisons are made using photographs of the borders taken from the same spot at different times of the year. Notes on cultivating key plants are included at the back of the book.
