How to bring color to the garden in all seasons?

Color is an important element in the garden, whatever the season. It's essential for creating a warm atmosphere and helps brighten up the darker months. Here are a few ideas to help you liven up your garden right away.​

When the days are short, when the rain or gloom sets in, adding a little color to your outdoor décor is an excellent idea! It's good for morale, and allows you to wait serenely for the return of fine weather and sunshine. 


A garden full of color, winter and summer alike​

Having a colorful garden all year round isn't that complicated!  All you need to do is get organized and think about a few vitamin-rich decorative elements. There are several options to choose from: 

  1. Add bright decorations to your outdoor pots and planters.
  2. Create colorful focal points in the garden, playing on colorful foliage, fruit or branches.
  3. Slip colorful decorative birds in metal or resin into your garden or terrace.
  4. Adopt colorful plants and shrubs to match the seasons.

The possibilities for outdoor decorations are many and varied: from small fluorescent or flashy animals, to large, brightly-colored bird statues, or even giant butterflies on bushes or hanging from trees. Goodbye dreariness, long live cheerfulness!

Choose brightly coloured plants in winter

Even though cold weather is hard on plants, some are resilient and low-maintenance. These include hellebores, cyclamen, camellias, viburnums, mahonias and witch hazel. And let's not forget winter jasmine, whose small yellow flowers will brighten up your garden during the darker months.​

But you can also opt for shrubs with colorful branches, such as red or yellow dogwood. Finally, berries are also an excellent way to bring color to your garden in winter.
