LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, April 4

The fifth element of landscape design is Color. Color is a compelling quality and can be achieved by adding colorful  flower beds, selection of colored or variegated foliage ranging from red to yellow to silver, or by adding dramatic containers. The hue is the name of the color, while the value refers to how light or dark the color is, and intensity is how bright or dull the flowers appear in the landscape. Bright, light yellows and pinks leap forward in the landscape, while deep reds or purples appear to recede.
