Create a garden border with colour that really comes to life with The Complementary Collection Ready-Made Garden Border, professionally selected by the experienced nursery team at Direct Plants.
This striking collection brings together complementary colour combinations such as purples with yellows and blues with oranges – colours that naturally contrast and enhance one another, helping flowers stand out beautifully throughout the border.
Combining a carefully chosen mixture of flowering shrubs and perennials, all plants are supplied as large, established specimens in generous 2 & 3 litre pots, giving your new border a fantastic head start.
We've done the planning, colour matching and plant selection for you – simply choose how much border you want to fill, plant them out and enjoy the results.
Great garden planting isn't just about choosing attractive plants – it's about choosing plants that look fantastic together.
Our nursery professionals will hand-select established shrubs and perennials around the Complementary Collection theme, pairing contrasting shades such as purple and yellow alongside blue and orange to create a colourful, balanced and eye-catching display.
Your plants are selected from the best suitable varieties available on our nursery at the time of ordering, giving you a professionally coordinated collection without the difficulty of planning the colour combinations yourself.

Place your plants around the border before planting and move them until you're happy with the overall arrangement. Try spreading contrasting colours throughout the border rather than grouping them all together – this helps create a balanced display and allows the complementary colours to really shine.
Plant into well-prepared soil, water thoroughly and continue watering during dry periods while the plants establish. Adding a layer of mulch will help retain moisture, suppress weeds and give your new border a smart, finished appearance.
The idea couldn't be simpler: you choose the style and how much garden you want to fill – our nursery professionals choose the plants.
With 6 established shrubs and perennials in generous 2 & 3 litre pots covering approximately 2m², it's an easy, great-value way to bring professionally coordinated complementary colour into your garden.
Quality plants, professionally selected and ready to plant – grown and supplied with care by Direct Plants.
