Tweet this

If you like a vibrant border this is the scheme for you. Reds and oranges demand attention - they spring forward so they work well in small garden.

Garden designer Alice Bowe shares her top tips for planting a red colour scheme in your garden.

Use plenty of colourful foliage

Use a lot of foliage - try purple, bronze, greys and purples for your filler plants. Don't use yellow, just concentrate on the oranges and reds.
Try block colours

Cheery wallflowers in strong blocks really work. Reds and oranges can get lost in a shady borders, so sunny spots are best.
