Thanks Lizππ
I have to say, I'm wild and reckless when it comes to gardening. Some of my color combos are just happy accidents. As I've matured, I'm now working on more " color echoes", an idea that I read about in the perennials forum. I'm plan on moving plants around the garden, combining those that accent each other with their leaves, textures, and colors.
I'm excited about the tree peonies that I have coming from Adelman's, Banquet (red), and Center Stage (white). I'm also looking forward to growing Pink Hawaiian Coral and Candy Heart coming from Fina Gardens.
I'll be moving my Itohs Pastel Splendor, Hillary and Cora Louise to my new peony bed that I did this spring. It's 50' x 4 ', along my back walkway.
Mary, I have Green Lotus from Brooks Gardens that was planted in December of 2012, it's remained small, but I did get 1 tiny bloom this past spring. Color Magnet and Chocolate Soildier are beautiful, I haven't grown those 2 before, I look forward to seeing your blooms.
