All in White – Elegant Garden Design with Style.

When it comes to garden design, personal taste is paramount. How the garden is designed depends on which plants and colors are preferred. But how about a garden design entirely in white?

White is often combined with many colorful hues, and that works very well. However, a garden entirely in white creates a certain elegance. There are a multitude of flowers that bloom in white and can be perfectly combined.

Flowers come in a wide variety of colors and shapes. But the color white alone has such a great diversity to offer that no other color is needed to bring variety to the garden. Individual garden sections can be kept entirely in white, or even the entire garden. This is ideal if you have a small garden. Because white creates something that hardly any other color can: space. Rooms painted white appear visually larger than rooms painted in color. And exactly the same thing happens in the garden when the color white comes into play. So, small gardens can be visually enlarged with the color white. But the garden not only looks visually larger with white flowers, it also smells particularly beautiful. Most white flowers exude a very pleasant fragrance and thus impress not only with simple elegance but also with a wonderful scent. Who needs exotic color wonders then?

It's not just with plants; in general, certain colors have a specific effect. Blue has a calming effect, red is powerful, and yellow lifts the mood. And just as every color has a specific effect, it always needs a counterpart to create a harmonious balance. White doesn't need this counterpart. White stands for harmony and has a more calming effect than all other color combinations. It's particularly fortunate that many of the plants that are popular for planting in the garden originally bloom white and are then cultivated in other colors. So, a white flower bed is not only pretty and smells good, it's also easier to create than you might think. The fact that nature is so diverse also means that every season has white blossoms to offer that can be perfectly combined if you want to keep your garden entirely in white. Whether large or small flowers, delicate or pompous blooms, there's nothing that doesn't exist in botany. The various green tones of the leaves complement this perfectly, rounding off the overall picture.

Just in time for the start of the new gardening year, the first white-blooming flowers also show themselves in their best light. Anyone who knows a little about botany knows that snowdrops are among the first to poke their heads out of the ground in early spring. Together with the Christmas roses from winter and the white crocuses, the garden awakens to life again after the frost. In the spring months, anemones, grape hyacinths, epimediums, and snow forsythia then show their best white side. When the white daffodils and lilacs have faded, rhododendrons, azaleas, and later the roses make their special appearance. Besides the rose, hydrangeas, lilies, and fuchsias also bloom. These beauties are then replaced in early autumn by the white-blooming heather, which is accompanied by the autumn crocus. When the saxifrage blooms in October, many roses still bloom in November, and in December they are replaced by the Christmas roses, which meet the snowdrops again in the new year.
