Patch’s Top Picks For Seasonal Plant Colour
Summer is all about bright colours, fresh air and spending time soaking up the sun with your loved ones. So, with summer in full swing, let’s take a look at our pick of the top plants that will add a dash of colour to those long evenings.
Gia the Hydrangea
Full of pom-pom-esque flowers, this leafy Hydrangea makes for an eye-catching potted plant. What makes her such a special summer guest is the fact that she'll change colour from pink to blue to white depending on the pH level of her soil. Acidic soil makes her blue, while alkaline will make her blush pink.
But her talents don’t stop there. Originally from Japan, Hydrangea leaves were fermented to make a popular sweet tea called Amacha. There are also antimicrobial properties hidden within her – that could even be used in malaria and diabetes treatment.
Laurens the Lavender
If you’re going for more of a purple Provencal look this summer, you’ll want some gorgeously fragrant lavender in your garden. His flowers shoot upwards in little bursts; and they’re at their most impressive during the summer months.
Laurens doesn’t just bring colour. He brings a lovely fragrance as well as natural anti-inflammatory properties. Even better, he’ll provide a little insect-repellent to keep your outdoor space as welcoming as possible in the long evenings.
However you choose to decorate your garden or conservatory this summer, make sure to bring some colourful and sweet-smelling characters to the party.
