How to Mix Pastel and Vivid Perennials for a Dynamic Rainbow Garden

Start by selecting a color scheme. Combine soft pastels like lavender and peach with vibrant hues such as red and orange for a striking contrast in your garden.

Choose perennials that bloom at different times to ensure year-round color. Mix in plants like daylilies, coneflowers, and asters to create a diverse and ever-changing landscape.

Layer your plants based on height to add depth and visual interest. Place taller perennials like delphiniums and hollyhocks towards the back, and shorter ones like dianthus and violas in the front.

Consider foliage textures and shapes when mixing plants. Pair spiky foliage of irises with the round leaves of hostas for a dynamic look. Varied textures add dimension to your rainbow garden.

Don't forget about maintenance. Regularly deadhead spent blooms, divide overcrowded plants, and provide adequate water and sunlight to keep your pastel and vivid perennials thriving throughout the seasons.

Enjoy the beauty of your dynamic rainbow garden as it transforms with each bloom. Experiment with different combinations and let your creativity shine in creating a colorful and vibrant outdoor space.
