Contemporary and minimalist outdoor spaces are mostly desinged in a very laconic way, just like indoor ones. We usually see simple trees, ornamental grasses and shrubs, lawn there, and flowers are usually skipped as they don’t provide a necessary feel. But what if you want blooms? Then we are ready to share some ideas of flowers that will fit a modern outdoor space and will look cohesive there, take a look!
How To Add Flowers To A Modern Garden?
The easiest way to add blooms is to place some containers with them here and there. Choose planters that match your garden style: they can be made of concrete or porcelain, they should be simple and monochromatic. Then just plant blooms that match the overall decor and voila, these containers can be moved where you want. The more laconic and even rough the planters look, the cooler contrast with blooms you’ll achieve.

What Flowers To Use In A Modern Garden?

One of the best ideas is lavender that will look great both in planters and in garden beds adding color and texture. One more option is zinnia or cosmos flowers in white, they look catchy and modern and will refresh a monochromatic facade. Purple verbena are quite tall and will add color, while allium will strike both with its shape and color, adding it to monotonous greenery garden beds is a win-win idea. Clover, astilbe and chamomiles will help you create a meadow-like landscape. Black and white tulips will make up a contrast attracting attention.
