A garden design that features white flowers paired with green foliage creates a tranquil and serene environment. This combination of colors brightens up dark areas, making them appear lighter and more spacious.

Using white flowers in a garden works well in various settings. In smaller gardens, the exclusive use of white blooms can create a sense of openness. In larger spaces, a dedicated area with this color scheme can become a peaceful retreat.

A green backdrop enhances the beauty of white flowers. Interplanting smaller green, variegated, and silver-leaved plants among the white blooms adds depth and structure to the garden.

Consider incorporating plants like Pittosporum with its variegated leaves, or Coprosma Repens ‘Variegata’ with its creamy white border. Silver-leaf plants like Lamb’s Ear can also complement the white flowers beautifully.

For added height and interest, the indigenous Lavender Tree or a silver-bark Birch Tree can be standout features in the garden.

A wide variety of white-flowering plants are available to create a stunning display throughout the year. To maximize their impact, consider planting them in groups.

Some popular options include Agapanthus, Peony ‘Shirley Temple’, Cosmos ‘Apollo White’, Oriental Lily ‘Cass Blanca’, Shasta Daisy ‘Snowcap’, Camellia, Gardenia, Hellebores, White Roses, and more.

Adding a trellis or pergola covered with fragrant climbers like Jasmine Multipartitum or a white-flowered Bougainvillea can enhance the garden’s appeal. The Solanum Jasminoides ‘Album’ (Potato Creeper) is also a great choice for rapid coverage.
