The seven plants to pick to make a rainbow garden.
With children in the house, you always have to keep a watch for extraordinary ideas. Kids are never content with the normal, even if it is as direct and straightforward as the garden. Why do the ordinary green when you can make a whole rainbow out of your garden! Here is everything you need to know about the plant selection and growth for having the seven-coloured vegetation in your garden.
The good news is, it is super easy to grow. All you need to do is find the plants that will produce the same colour variations as violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red!
Let's see which plants can give us the required colours to fall in an arched plot to create a rainbow effect.
Violet-
For violet, you can choose the catmint plants. They are perennial plants that keep fragrant foliage built in your backyard. The summers are filled with lush violet flowers covering the whole canopy of the plant. You can pot them separately in pots to create the arch or have them spread on the flower bed. They grow best in well-lit soil with clear drainage.
Indigo-
What works best, as a shift from violet to blue, is Salvia Patens. The petals grow two distinct lips on an upright stem. The plant grows up to one meter and flowers through summer and autumn. You need to place the patch in the open sun and have chalk, or loamy soil added.
Blue-
For blue, you can borrow the royal blue of Iris flowers. Growing to a height of 12 cm, these hardy plants are perfect borders to hold your garden.
Green-
Don't get startled when I say green flowers! Just when you though green is only stem and leaves, enter dianthus! The fussy woolly green wall steals the show and is the perfect switch from blue to green.
Yellow-
For yellow, the bright carnations are perfect! The spectrum of colours in each petal is what you need to turn the whole garden bright.
Orange-
Begonias come in many shades, but if you pick the orange one, you will never regret it. Plus, it looks perfectly vibrant beside the carnations.
Red-
Now for the shortest wavelength! You have plenty of options to look for when searching for red flowers, but the cutest one is an anemone. The spring bloomers can be grown in rock gardens and are ideal for packing the rainbow garden in.
