'A few months later I was out in the back garden and something deep and beautifully red caught my eye,' Lara continues. Last year a surprise snapdragon grew, in a shade of orangey-red so violent it offended my senses.' Lara dug it up, planted it in her back garden near some other red roses and a Photinia 'Red Robin', and forgot about it. Lara demonstrates the impact that similar tones can have on a plot further: 'My front garden is a natural perennial garden with mostly shades of blue, pink, purple and burgundy. Here, a palette of purples, violets and blues come together in a rustic stone trough, for a pretty display. To get the look, try using a similar range of a particular shade, she says, by opting for hues that are next to each other on the color wheel. 'When colors are adjacent to each other, the effect they inspire is of harmony: they harmonise, like a melody, and are pleasing to the eye rather than jarring,' says Garden Designer Lara Raffaelli.
