Colour Your World

Adding Seasonal Beauty to Your Garden

The feel, look, and style of a garden can completely transform with the seasons – and one of the easiest ways to do this is by adding seasonal colour. With the right plants, you can enjoy a garden that bursts with vibrant hues and delightful scents all year round. At Stoneman’s, we love helping you get creative with eye-catching combinations and fragrant blooms that bring every corner of your garden to life.

Colour and Scent Inspiration for Your Garden

Bold & Beautiful

Nothing catches the eye quite like strong shades of red, yellow, and blue. Pair yellow with blue for a striking, high-contrast display.

Contrast is Key

Use the colour wheel to your advantage! Opposites attract in the garden – try orange with blue, yellow with purple, or red with green. Add touches of white to make your colours really pop.

Neutral Hues

Whites, silvers, beige, and cream work beautifully with any colour palette. They’re fantastic fillers and help soften bold planting schemes.

Hot, Hot, Hot

Create drama with fiery tones – pinks, oranges, reds, and purples bring energy and excitement, perfect for focal points in the garden.

Soft & Sweet

Pastel shades of pale yellow, lavender, baby blue, and cream (instead of bright white) create a soothing, calming effect that feels gentle and fresh.

Scented Annuals

Fragrance is just as important as colour. Many blooms that open later in the day rely on perfume to attract pollinators. To maximise scent, cluster pots of fragrant annuals in your entertainment areas or plant en masse for impact. The more you grow, the stronger the perfume!

Bring Colour to Life All Year Round

Whether you’re planting from seed, seedlings, advanced packs, or ready-to-go potted colour, there’s always a way to refresh your garden and create a spectacular display. With the right seasonal choices, you’ll enjoy a garden that feels alive with colour, fragrance, and personality all year long.

At Stoneman’s Garden Centre in Hobart, we’re here to help you choose the perfect plants, from bold and bright blooms to delicately scented favourites. Pop in and let us help you colour your world this season. 🌸

March in the Garden

February 25, 2026

Tasmania’s Autumn Planting & Harvest Guide March in Tasmania signals the start of autumn gardening - a season of transition and opportunity. As summer fades, soaking autumn rains begin, while the warmth of summer sun still lingers in the soil, protected by fallen leaves acting as a natural mulch. With cooler temperatures and more reliable rainfall, this is the perfect time to prepare your garden for winter and spring growth .
