How to create a monochrome flower

Monochrome, that is seasoned in one color, flower beds look incredibly interesting because of the combination of different colors, textures and sizes of plants. Create a flower garden is not so simple and, for this we must be able to work with textures and shapes, combine different shades, to highlight key points.

Here it is necessary to be a good colorist, and competent, skillful gardener. In order not to put in a flowerbed plants with different growing conditions, requirements for lighting and humidity. In monochrome flower garden is no detail, everything is important: shade tree bark, foliage color, cover the garden path.

It is believed that the monochrome flower garden will be ready in three years of work, trial and error and thinking.

Here are some rules monochrome flower garden:

• It planted perennials, annuals and shrubs.

We think that having decided to create a monochrome flower, simplified the task itself. And here and there. But it is even more interesting!

white flower

When we talk about the plants, it is difficult to say which of them can be called a true white. White considered plants with cream, grayish, milk, porcelain, yellowish, pinkish flowers. Therefore, only it seems to create a white flower simple - in fact, "white" group of white separately crocuses will have a distinct yellow tint and will not look good next to the "white" juniper bluish shade.

Therefore, when creating a white flower bed is recommended to divide the white plants into three groups:

• Warm: plants with buds milk and beige shades with orange and yellow elements.
• Cold: all colors, tending to blue and pink; Plants with leaves and needles bluish, silvery, grayish hues.
• Green: green plant with white elements, eg, hosts.

"Warm" white tulips are the best contrast to the common "cold" background.

One of the secrets of successful monochrome garden - paths, buildings and garden furniture. The white garden white or white-gray benches, arbors and paths of white gravel enhance the overall impression of white.

This photo gray stone and bright green gravel muffle heat - imagine that there are brick red tiles and a fence made of wood, the impression "white dream" would be destroyed.

White walls, white track, the white walls of the buildings creates the perfect backdrop for the white garden.

In the garden KSY we see mostly white: all the bushes in the spring are covered with white foam of flowers, white everywhere roses, peonies, clematis, lilies and phlox, leaves many shrubs tend to be silver or gray colors.

Monochrome flower gardens look particularly advantageous in the evening, although the monopoly of the same color is not to everyone. But too bright, blinding white sun flower becomes colorless, lost.

But all in one color – in my opinion, boring, so I dilute the white bit in a different color, depending on the composition.

pink flower

For the difficult task of creating a monochrome garden or even a monochrome garden corner were taken and other respected gardeners of our portal. Quite often created pink composition, at least because this beautiful color found in nature do often.

Pastel pink goes well with green foliage and as if pushing the boundaries of the garden, making them fuzzy, creates lyrical, a little careless mood of Russian garden.

Bright pink, on the contrary, stands out sharply against the background of foliage, fences and buildings; hot pink - the color of the main ceremonial areas and important parts of the garden. Pink flower beds look great next to the light benches and gazebos, pergolas and trellis on, in a romantic corner.

Like white, pink is the common name for various shades. Pink - a mixture of white and red, and depending on how much of it one or the other, it may be hot dark pink, warm pink, apricot, cold, dirty pink, and so on. And based on this we create a flower garden. We either stand a single, warm or cold, mood, or gain experience and knowledge, violates the rules and put on warm background cold contrast plant.

The only thing:

next to pink plants look terribly scarlet, brick, orange and warm yellow color.

This also applies to color MAFov, tracks, and so on. D.

yellow flower

If white garden is considered to be a garden of rest, the yellow, on the contrary, invigorates and energizes. Yellow flower beds can be a real salvation for a cloudy climate regions, where there is little sunshine, often fall rains and the sky is overcast. Yellow shines brightly, and on this background, sometimes a little too cheerfully, so it is recommended to dilute the cream, pale green plants.

Monochrome flower must consist of plants of the same color but different shades that go well with each other.

Here are the plants selected for the yellow flower garden parties to our portal:

• Gelihrizum (annual dry flowers);
• Snapdragon (eutherophyte);
• Doronicum (perennial);
• Dahlias or large "Jolly Fellows";
• Tulip;
• irises;
• Tsiniya;
• Elecampane;
• lilies;
• daffodils;
• eschscholzia;
• Limnantes;
• lupins;
• Yarrow Labaznikova.

In addition to the flowers can be planted shrubs, blooming yellow flowers, such as acacia and broom pressed - creeping dwarf shrub that grows no higher than 15-20 cm, and blooms profusely always, and hang out with pots succession.

red flower

Landscape designers say that red is always visually brings the object, so if a flower bed of red flowers put in the background, it would seem that it is closer.

I noticed on your garden,the color redbest viewed from a distance, t. To. They are very bright.

Another feature of red - it is the undisputed leader in the world of color, red flower will always attract the eye, stand out from the background.

The lighter red foliage in the plant, the more they will go into the yellow, warm colors; if red flowers placed on the background of bluish foliage, like snowberry, they slightly darkened, lost, and on the background of dark foliage the whole flower bed "smeared" to be, as they say photographers, "blurred" no contrast.

If I made a red flower, I would mix "blue" leaves, t. E., For example, Cossack juniper, cloves, snowberry, spirea gray and dark crimson flowers. The combination, in my view, though difficult to execute, but very interesting.
