When creating a variegated flower bed, the main thing is to find the perfect combination of tones and colors. There is a special color palette, according to which you can choose the perfect colors for each other.
The most harmonious contrast is the combination of red, yellow and blue. This rule also applies to plants. Each of the listed colors has its own contrasts, they can depend on hue, saturation or light. Flowers with yellow, white, blue buds, as well as various types of greens will help to emphasize the beauty of scarlet without making it vulgar. If there are cold shades of inflorescences soloing on a flower bed, then they will have to be supplemented with warm yellow, orange, red. Purple petals look great among all shades of orange.
For a bright flower bed, it is preferable to make a plain background. Blue flowers look brighter and richer in the background in the distance, their beauty is emphasized by yellow or white plants.
