Color Scheming
This year I chose my impatiens inspired by the garden center. The way they were laid out looked like Impressionist watercolors. As a base I chose Super Elfin Lilac impatiens. One of each plant goes into each pot. Next I chose Super Elfin Starburst Mix. One lilac Starburst goes into each pot. The remainder (pink, coral) are mixed around in the pots. I think the effect is good, though difficult to photograph. I have many pots in the front of the house, creating a wash of color. Imagine this one container in the photo multiplied.
