Orange Flowering Plants

Orange is a colour that commits. It carries the heat of red with the light of yellow, so it reads as warm and energetic and lifts a scheme that has gone a little flat. It looks most at home in a hot border with reds and yellows, but it also makes a striking contrast against blue and purple, which sit opposite it on the colour wheel.

The plants here flower mainly from summer into autumn, when the softer, lower light suits the warm tones especially well. Most want a sunny spot to flower at their best, and many are good for cutting or for drawing in bees and butterflies. Orange sits beautifully with bronze and dark foliage, which deepen it further.

All grown for UK gardens and sent out well rooted.
