Transform Your garden with mulch
Mulch Colors
For mulch that will go with your flowers, pick a color that works with your blooms.
White and yellow flowers look beautiful with red mulch. Purple flowers conflict with red mulch but look stunning against black and brown mulch. If you plant dark foliage or dark green colors, almost any mulch color will provide a nice contrast and help make the plants stand out.
To match a mulch color to your home, consider the style and materials used in its construction.
- Brown mulch can soften the look of red brick, while black mulch will add to the crisp look of sharp, squared edges.
- Use red mulch to give a grounded look to a home with light-tone siding like white, cream or pale blue. Red mulch is especially well-suited to a palette of gold and warm tones.
- Black mulch around green foliage, such as hostas and sweet potato vines, makes the colors stand out. For gray and contemporary homes, use black mulch.
