Color choice is one of the most important design elements in the garden, so it is no wonder that professional landscape designers use color wheels as an aid in the process. This double-sided color wheel, created specifically for gardeners, has 18 pure colors, each with 6 tints and 6 shades and tones for 216 color variation. The 9 ¼ inch diameter wheel is plastic coated with UV inhibitors to resist fading and moisture. A portable, easy-to-use reference for use at home or at the nursery, it will help you plan your dream garden and make thoughtful decisions in the process. Its use is also discussed in detail in Sydney Eddison's books, The Gardener's Palette and Garden's To Go.
