A Veri Peri Inspired Garden | The Best Purple-Blue Flowers for Your Garden in 2022

Pantone's colour of the year  described as a periwinkle purplish blue with red-violet undertones.

Could there be a better colour selection for gardens?! I personally love purple/blue flowers in the garden because they complement and contrast with green foliage so beautifully.
There are many flowers that come to mind that could be described as a similar hue to this year's colour selection. Check out my "Veri-Peri-Inspired" mood board to the left. 

I already have all of these lovely flowers in my garden, so it looks like I'm covered. I highly recommend all of these plants! 

Here's what I like about them: (clockwise from top)

1) Muscari. A small early blooming which happily naturalizes.
2) Allium. Adds interest and height. These flower balls can come in all sizes but I prefer the largest ones!
3) Lavender. A classic flower/shrub which is evergreen in some climates.
4) Hydrangea. The large flower heads on these shrubs add a pop of colour in the garden. They also make beautiful cut flowers.
​5) Hyacinth. The early season blooms and beautiful fragrance of these flowers make them an essential addition to the garden.
6) Butterfly bush. These semi-evergreen shrubs seem to bloom all season long. They are also a magnet for butterflies (hence the name), bees, and hummingbirds.
7) Campanula. I think campanula has not gotten enough credit for its long blooming, low growing habit. The flowers bloom over a long period and it is well-mannered in its spread.

There you have it! My purply-blue favourites in the garden. What's your experience growing these in your garden? Will you be adding any this year?
