Blue Beauty: The Science Behind Hybrid Plants

True Blue Beauty overview

Landscape artist Sylvia Crowe thought the more intense, synthetic colours – like blue, which is hardly found in nature – threw off the ‘subtle harmony of the wild plant’ (Garden Design, 1958). Jean-Jacques Rousseau even called hybrids ‘nature disfigured by man’ (La Botanique, 1805). However, by being more low-maintenance and disease-tolerant, plant hybrids reduce the impact of use of water, chemical-based pest control and fertiliser, while increasing habitat and food sources for wildlife.
