Postponement forces garden designers to explore alternatives to traditional spring colours
Pumpkins, grasses and seed-heads take centre stage at the Chelsea flower show as the deep, rich hues of autumn replace the fresh pastel spring palette usually on show over the event’s 108-year history.
Forced to cancel last year, and postponed from its traditional late May slot to late September this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, there will be unfamiliar sights and trends among the displays. Designers will be challenged to adapt to accommodate the change in season.
