What is a colour echo? Broadly speaking, it’s a colour in one plant repeated in a nearby plant.
The idea of colour echoes was popularized by Pamela Harper, an American garden writer, who wrote Colour Echoes in 1994.
The colour of foliage is as important as flower colour, but we seldom give it the same attention. Colour echoes can be used in multi-coloured borders without major changes to the existing plants. These possibilities increase considerably in a mixed border that includes annuals, biennials, vines and shrubs as well as perennials.
Most echoes are found in close proximity, next to each other or along a path within a few feet. But in more expansive landscapes they can be viewed across a distance such as larger groupings of Bergenia with tulips of the same hue in spring.Article content
