5 Mix classic neutrals with greens
a selection of crisp, white blooms against a coolgreen palette is a classic combo. choose a profusion of white cosmos or creamy nicotiana. add height with spires of foxglove ‘alba’ or snow-white lupins. Introduce fragrance with a climbing rose such as ‘claire austin’. as summer fades, keep the theme going by studding your borders with snowy ‘annabelle’ hydrangeas.
