An apricot and peach border, warm and soft.
Apricot and peach are the most fashionable colours in planting design right now, and it is easy to see why: warm, soft, sophisticated sunset tones that glow in the evening light and pair beautifully with a cool steel-blue. It is a scheme that looks effortlessly modern.

Why apricot and peach work so beautifully
Apricot, peach and soft coral sit between pink and orange – warm without being brash, soft without being pale. They have a glow, especially in low evening light, that makes them feel romantic and sophisticated at once, which is why designers reach for them so often now.
The magic ingredient is a cool contrast: a steely blue – sea holly, a blue salvia – set against the warm apricots makes both look richer, the classic 'sunset and steel' pairing. Bronze and coppery foliage deepens the warmth and gives the scheme real depth.

How does the AI garden design work?
Upload a photo of your garden or a single border, and tell us what you'd like: refresh your borders, keeping your garden's shape, or redesign the whole space with new layout, paths and planting. Pick a style, and we generate a photorealistic redesign of your actual garden. When you love one, unlock its planting plan – every plant, how big each grows, and where each goes.
Are the plants real – can I actually buy and plant them?
Yes. Every design can become a planting plan of real, available UK plants, with each plant's mature height and spread, where it goes and a month-by-month flowering guide. The plans are built on real horticultural data and shaped by a professional gardener – not generic AI guesses – so the garden in the picture is a garden you can genuinely plant.

What colour goes with apricot and peach?
A cool steel-blue is the classic partner – it makes the warm apricots glow. Bronze and coppery foliage adds depth, and creamy whites keep the scheme soft. Avoid strong pinks, which can fight with the warmth.
