Green aside, my favourite colours in the garden are rich blues and cool purples. In my mind they are the garden champions, pairing beautifully with just about every other colour from white, soft pinks and pastels, to the yellows and oranges of late summer and autumn. They stand proudly too in our strong Australian light, while other colours can look washed out and insipid as the heat rises. Pair them with golden grasses in summer and the picture mirrors a burnished landscape and stormy skies. Heavenly.
The beautiful blues are worthy of a special place in the garden, so I’ve put together a gallery of a few to consider. There are many more!
