Blue in the Garden: A Gallery

Our Gardens have the blues!

It’s a mystery why we love it so! If you know, tell us!  There are few gardeners who don’t love this accent color. There aren’t too many true blue flowers, so mixed with reds, pinks, oranges and greens look well next to blue.   Here are some cool watery examples, of blue colors in the garden to show why it works so well.

    I love cobalt blue in my garden! Most all my store bought pot are cobalt blue and I use those colors in my bottle tree and wine bottles that accent my garden beds. When the sun hits that blue, it is dazzling. My other accent choice is anything galvanized- tubs, funnels, buckets, weight scale, etc. The grey of the galvanized pieces goes great with the blues.

  • This post was near and dear....my house color is a light beige, but my front and back doors are a bright Federal Blue, so I have all sorts of pots and planters of different shapes and sizes and different shades of blue...and I've landscaped with shades of blue, yellow and white. Your pics are gorgeous.
