This year no well dressed garden should be seen without Festival Burgundy, the perfect bed partner to turquoise, which recently became recognised by the Flowers & Plants Association as the key colour trend for the year ahead.
Turquoise, once the toast of the Art Deco movement, contrasts superbly with colours from the opposite end of the spectrum making the deep purple burgundy vibrancy of Festival Burgundy ideal. Adding a dash of Festival Burgundy will create the perfect combination of fire and ice to any garden this summer.
This year no well dressed garden should be seen without Festival Burgundy, the perfect bed partner to turquoise, which recently became recognised by the Flowers & Plants Association as the key colour trend for the year ahead.
Turquoise, once the toast of the Art Deco movement, contrasts superbly with colours from the opposite end of the spectrum making the deep purple burgundy vibrancy of Festival Burgundy ideal. Adding a dash of Festival Burgundy will create the perfect combination of fire and ice to any garden this summer.
Leading colour guide Pantone believes that Turquoise's ‘serene qualities of blue’ and ‘invigorating aspects of green’ combined with the belief that it is said to be a ‘protective talisman, a colour of deep compassion and healing’ mean it will be defining the mood of 2010.
The Festival Burgundy cordyline brought to you by worldwide horticultural experts Tesselaar International, has cascading deep burgundy foliage, strap-like leaves and eye-catching, fragrant, pale lilac flowers which help it stand out in any garden and make it the perfect partner for any turquoise inspired presentation.
Anthony Tesselaar, President and Co-Founder of Tesselaar International, commented ‘…Turquoise is a bright, trendy and fashionable colour which you can easily mix with other colours. Matching opposites is like “ying-yang”. It fits and it often makes sense. Just mix Turquoise with “deep purple burgundy” or a very dark red. It is a wonderful combination!’
Be bold and be inspired with turquoise this year and let yourimagination run wild as you seek the perfect bed partner to create this season’s hot gardening look!
