Plants with a split complementary color relationship with Salvia leucantha 'Greenwood'

About Split Complementary Colors

The split complementary color scheme is a subtle variation of the standard complementary color scheme. It uses a given flower color and the two colors immediately adjacent to its complementary on a color wheel. This blend of shades provides good contrast and a harmonious look and is widely used in fashion design. Most people find it familiar even if they don´t know the proper name for this grouping.

In the garden, this is one of the most pleasant color combinations.

Here are the possible combinations for split complementary colors:

NOTE: Because there are no green flowered Salvias, we are including the bract color in our determination of this color relationship.

Testimonials

Every time I order from fbts, the plants arrive and are beautiful, even after traveling across the US. I have been very satisfied with the plants I have ordered.

Cindi

I ordered two Salvia Amistad from FBTS. The plants arrived in great condition and the soil in the pots was still moist. I set them outside in partial sun to let them \"harden\" and in a couple of days replanted them in larger containers. They are flourishing and have more than tripled in size...

Glenda Hawthorne

My plants arrived quickly and in very good condition. With watering they were completely revived within a few days and are thriving in the garden.

Linda Rubio

My neighbor alerted me to this nursery in California that had salvias ideal for southeast Arizona. The plants arrived in slightly larger than normal tubes but the plants were gallon size in terms of their growth with some pushing 2 feet. I ordered hard to find more frost hardy pine forest...

Having a blast learning about salvias, reviewing, ordering and planting. Being recently retired, Flowers by The Sea has been a great source for the plants and keeps me out of the house... Thank you FBTS... Richard

Richard

The plants purchased from FBTS are first rate! They were healthy, and rearing to grow when I received them. Would definitely order again.

Stacy West

I just received my 1st order of plants and I am thrilled by the condition and by the quick delivery time. Spectacular service.May I suggest that you include your excellent print out on after- care of plants upon receipt with orders.

Carol Terry

I was really impressed with the quality and size of the plants. Within a week or so, the Salvias doubled in fullness, and blooming like crazy! Just beautiful plants!

the recent set of 5 flowers are doing well. It is cool in the desert ... under 90. flowers purchased previously did not like temps above 90. As soon as it cooled off .... they started blooming again.

David Nesst

Plants arrived in good condition seeing they didn't get delivered on Friday, April 3rd. as scheduled. Instead they were held over the Easter weekend and were delivered by noon on Monday the 6th. I put then in the sunroom to recover. Too cold here in Wisconsin to think of placing them outside....
