What if there was a way to weave a ribbon of sunshine through your garden that would glow even on a cloudy day?
It’s not garden art, a light display, or a water feature.
It’s actually a foliage color. You might describe it as yellow-green, acid green, or chartreuse, but no matter what you name it, this color tone is just plain fun to play with in the garden.
It looks stunning when combined with bright, summery annuals. It works its magic in shade too, creating pools of light that draw the eye. Chartreuse foliage contrasts well with the bottle green tones of shrubs such as holly, distylium, and gardenia, giving freshness and energy to an evergreen border.
In this post, I’ll share some photos of combinations that you can repeat in your own garden and show you just how versatile this foliage color can be.
There are so many beautiful plants to discover that share these attributes. I hope this has given you some ideas to use in your own garden space this summer.
Happy Gardening!
