HEAVENLY
HYDRANGEAS
True stars of the
summer garden, hydrangeas
can make a scene like few
other shrubs, with their
huge rounded blooms in
blue, pink or white. Consider
creating a patio display like
this, combining a potted
pink variety with a standard
form in blue – gorgeous!

SPIRES OF BLUE
Add splashes of
cool blue to a hot
summer garden with
salvias – there are lots of
varieties to choose from.

SWINGIN’ IN
THE BREEZE
Hanging baskets
bring flowers right up to
eye level. Plant them up
generously with three
or four flower varieties,
or cheat and buy one of
the pre-planted nursery
versions! This fabulous
scheme marries purple
lobelia, red verbena and
white calibrachoa for
a display with tons of
in-your-face impact. Photography GAP Photos/Friedrich StraussBEAUTIFUL BLOOMS
