The very best kind of shopping! How about purple or white Lantana for groundcover, and a nice contrast of foliage texture? I have a nice one that is white with a little yellow in the middle, making it a softer ivory effect when it's in full bloom.

Elaine. I am actually not going to plant anything anymore there. I just need a 'covering' for the soil, so a stone or mulch, that will contrast with and complement the pine bark and the rose granite.

Here is a picture of the pink granite. It's only just pink, although it will be darker when wet.

Oooh, that granite is really pretty and I bet even more so when it's wet!
