Planting colour combinations
Colour Combinations! Using leaf and stem colours is a great way to subtly tie a planting scheme together. We have a lovely combo at the moment with the deep red centres in the bracts of the euphorbias and their stems working with the deep purple of the tulips and fritillarias, subtle but works so well. Equally the lime greens and yellow of the daffodils with the lime green of the euphorbias too. You can achieve the same thing with lots of other combos … what are your favourite combinations? #plantingcombinations #plantingcolourcombinations #deeppurpleplants #winstonchurchill
The garden in March
The garden this morning! It’s an abundance of blooms! The deep purple of the Fritillaria persica mixed with the lime greens of the euphorbias and the movement from the Stipa Tenuissima is sooooo dreamy xxx #showusyourshoots @the_rhs @gdnmediaguild #springgardens #dreamygardens #contemporarygardens #naturalisticgarden #naturalplantingdesign #purpleflowers

Lucy Tudor - Lucy Willcox Garden Design on Instagram: "One of the best plants for a part shady spot, Hellebores. They come in all different shapes and sizes. This is my fav. Helleborus × hybridus Harvington white speckled. Gorgeous white with red speckles flowers from February to April. As it’s semi evergreen it’s perfect as a ground cover for areas of dappled shade under deciduous trees and shrubs. Like all hellebores they prefer a heavy, neutral to alkaline soil. @crocus.co.uk 10% discount code - LUCYW10 #helleboresharvington #winterflowers #ad Gloves gifted from @loveturtledoves"
Lucy Tudor - Lucy Willcox Garden Design on Instagram: "I love the compact and successional displays you get in planters … these planter are now in their tulip phase! Once they’ve finished I’ll take them out, plant them in the garden and replace them with something like #salvianemorosacaradonna Which looks great with the #stipatenuissima and #euphorbiaxmartini see my stories for the links to them on my highlights @vincentandbarn @crocus.co.uk 15% off code LUCYW15 #potdisplays #planterideas #whattoplantnow"
Lucy Tudor - Lucy Willcox Garden Design on Instagram: "It might be freezing out but the grasses are putting on a gorgeous show and work beautifully in balance with the hard landscaping. Softening the solid forms and creating a beautiful veil to look through. No garden is completed without grasses, especially as they come in all different shapes and sizes 🌾💚 #wintergardens #wintergarten #ornementalgrasses #naturalisticplanting #silverlab #gardendesignersgarden #floatyplanting"
Lucy Tudor - Lucy Willcox Garden Design on Instagram: "“Pack It In”! Thank you @vincentandbarn for these great Galvanised planters. Today I planted up a lovely seasonal display. Stipa tenuissima with Ivy and violas, Euphorbia x martini and an evergreen fern. And below them I’ve packed in bulbs, Iris, Crocus, daffodils, tulips and alliums. I’ll upload an other video to show you how I layered them. This display will put on a show from now until June, and well, beyond that … I look forward to sharing. You’ll see why this reel is titled “pack it in” as my London accent really comes out in this video! 😆 #gifted #smallgardenideas #balconygardening #balconygardens"
