This month, the Wave Crew asked their Pink Pot Ambassadors about their favorite color combination to use in the garden. Surprise, surprise, the answered: Pink! All shades of pink and light purples.
I love the color pink so much that I designated a spot in my garden that I call “The Pink Pathway.” -@broadwaygardener
My favorite color combinations are purples, whites, pinks, blues, and silvers in the garden. I love trying to create a cottage-garden-type vibe – but with plants that can actually “make it” in the south. -@gardensandchickens
I’m a goth garden witch lady, so I want all the black flowers and dark foliage. There’s something about a black pansy that is unrivaled by all other flowers. It is breathtakingly beautiful in its simple, refined elegance. I love all the deep, dark, moody, colors (dark-veined throats of petunias are chef’s kiss), but I also enjoy contrasting them with soft pinks and whites. The coral shades have really started to grow on me as well. -@igardennow
I honestly don't have a favorite. It is like asking me which of my 5 children is my favorite. I suppose it depends on the day. ;) However, I do lean towards the bright colors when I plant annuals. Reds, Purple, Fuchsia and Orange with silver accents. -@wildwestgardeneringeorgia
In the garden, I love all shades of pink, blush and white. -@southernhomeandfarm
