Choosing Colors for Your Landscape

I always wish I had a brick or gray house whenever I start to pick out plants for my front yard. Landscaping plants should enhance the house and my red shutters seem to rule out pinks and pastels. If you’re playing with colors, whether in pots or in the ground, David Beaulieu has some examples of how to use color effectively in your Landscape Color Schemes. According to David, "an effective landscape color scheme can compensate for many a landscape design flaw." Well, who couldn’t use that kind of help?
