Our Crush on Marsala

“A naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala enriches our minds, bodies and souls.” Um, yes please!

Robust, Earthy, Hearty and Stylish are just a few of the words the Pantone Color Institute uses to describe Marsala, the Color of the Year for 2015. This rich color can be used as an elegant, grounded statement color or as a a strong accent color to compliment other hues.

This is why the HGTV HOME Plant Collection LOVES this color—talk about versatility in the garden landscape! For instance: use Physocarpus Glow™ Maroon Sunset™ as a foundation plant to add dramatic depth to a garden vignette.

Pair Heucherella Reveal™ Golden Sizzle™ with Hostas & False Spiraea for a stunning textural addition to your woodland garden—both applications equally as sophisticated as ensembles seen on the runways of of New York Fashion Week!

Throughout this winter and early spring, we will look at color combinations to inspire our spring planning so check back here for those KNOW HOW! articles. Also, you can visit our Marsala pinterest board to see more plants and to cultivate your own ideas!
