Plants with a split complementary color relationship with Salvia VIBE 'Ignition Purple'

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.

Ordered 4 plants during a recent sale. They arrived as scheduled, securely packed, and very healthy looking. Not even two weeks later they are putting out new growth. Can't wait to se how they bloom next season.

I bought two pachyphylla 'blue flame' a couple of months ago. I had seen a picture of one in a magazine and I knew they were hard to find. Flowers by the Sea had two and they arrived in one day and in excellent condition. Both salvias are now blooming which is awesome.
