I went through a red stage when I started decorating my own apartments in my 20s. After about five years that I dropped out of love with all the sexy hue and moved into a love affair with green and occasionally the slightest hint of blue. Perhaps that makes sense; that is when my romance with gardens began.
In any case, although I still adore my greens and grays, my love for red is slowly coming back. Forget shy pinks and subtle creams in the backyard. Give me power! Give impact to me! Give me red. Red can cheer up a bed that is tufted, draw attention to undervalued areas of the backyard and deliver a punch of colour to any potted arrangement. Let’s observe this hue and bring on the red.

Red draws the eye instantly, hence the brightly colored stop signals. To attract attention to a front entrance, plant a swipe of reddish annuals like these impatiens at a refined arrow pointing directly toward your primary entrance.

Red can proceed subtler when paired with deep blues and maroons. With the large contrast of green and red, this grouping of red kangaroo paw and blossoms says, “Hello!” With a beautiful South African accent.

If you understand red in the backyard, then you’ve probably met a Japanese maple. With cut leaves so intricate, they almost look like blood-tinged lace, Japanese maple makes a statement loud and clear. Pair your maple with understated evergreens, greens and rocks for the best show.

For a pop of red without a lot of work, select reddish blossoms, like those geraniums, for container gardens flanking the front entrance. Insert some at a higher level as a bonus.
