Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Using this method when choosing your flowers creates high contrast and vibrancy in your container garden. A classic three-color combo using complementary colors is red, yellow and blue, which is what we've done with this recipe. When choosing your own complementary colors, just do an Internet search for a color wheel to use as your guide when planning your colors and plants. As always, use the thriller/filler/spiller method when selecting plants and group plants together that like the same amount of sunlight and water.
