Red, White (and Green) make a vibrant, fresh and clean combination. Red inserts energy and excitement. White offers a bright contrast, perking up any color. And green is serene, it balances out color combinations outdoors.

Red attracts attention, especially from a distance. It especially works well in the dim outdoor light of December where I live. And if there is snow on the ground then it is all the more vivid.

White enhances all colors. White with energetic red is especially noteworthy. Add the balance of green and it makes an eye-catching outdoor display. So here are some garden design ideas to consider if you aim for a touch of red and white - at any time of year.
