Chicago Botanic Garden plans vibrant spring displays

chicagotribune.com

Garden staff at the Chicago Botanic Garden have completed planning for the 2027 spring annual displays. They recommend using the color wheel to create effective plant combinations, considering both color relationships and growing conditions. Complementary colors, like yellow and purple, enhance each other’s vibrancy. Pairings such as red begonias with green hostas can create striking contrasts. Analogous colors, like red and orange, offer a soothing effect with less contrast. Cool colors evoke calmness, while warm colors are bright and energizing. White flowers can enhance other colors and provide a dramatic effect in the evening. Monochromatic schemes can also create dramatic visual interest in gardens.
