So, we're heading toward Viva Magenta this year, which means lots of vibrant hues. Because this is such a warm color, it exudes a sense of luxury and will be the perfect color addition to any garden that is rich with other jewel tones like navy blue, orange-yellow, deep purple, and deep lush greens. Not only will your garden be gorgeous, but you're sure to attract a myriad of butterflies and hummingbirds, too! Here are some varieties that boast this exciting garden color:
Dahlias are everyone's favorite late-season bloomers, and they come in many striking tones of magenta. Some of the most dazzling varieties include Magenta Star, Pink Sylvia, Daisy Duke, Rock Star, Cailin's Joy, Pompom Burlesca, and Night Silence. These large blooms tend to be stars of the show in any color, but we know you'll love these enchanting deep Magenta shades best.
This vining perennial is one every gardener needs to have, especially if you're rockin' with the magenta vibe this summer. Some of the most stunning garden color varieties include Alita, Bourbon, Cherokee, Pink Champagne, Marta, and the Ville De Lyon. These clematis blooms stay at their best all season long, captivating your guests with their waves of magenta-hued blooms.
No Viva Magenta garden is complete without peonies! If it's the bold color and personality you want, add some pink-toned peonies, like the Magenta Splash or Magenta Melody, and watch your garden erupt with this year's best color!
