This was my new fav colour combo when I left Canada in the spring/early summer. I just love it. And I am constantly thinking about colour schemes for our guest rooms, perhaps this could be one of them.
It includes Berberis ‘Royal Burgundy’,
Hakonechloa ‘Albo Striata’,
and this new lovely sedum that I purchased this spring, of course I can’t remember the name, and my garden journal is sitting safely at home on the kitchen island, instead of in Barbados where I might need it. But any blue sedum will do.
Do you love it?
I am a floral designer living in a tiny condo in downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city. But on the weekend, I am a gardener/frustrated architect trying to keep up with a 3/4 acre garden in Owen Sound, Ontario, a warm (to Canadians, Zone 5b, and a cold (to Americans, Zone 4b) garden.

They go beautifully together, especially the sedum and the berberis. Inspiration comes from unexpected places when we are thinking of decorating!

It was quite unexpected, but I am quite happy with the colour scheme. Love dark moody colours.

love this combination – my shade garden is primarily chartreuse and burgundy/pink – it adds so much light to a dark area.

I have a chartreuse/pinky area as well, wish I could limit my colour schemes. That was the great thing about floral design, could always try something new, and it was instant.

The deep burgundy with the blue sedum is very lovely and subtle especially effective in shade

Now that I think of it, I have a deep burgundy sofa, perhaps I could use that with blue walls, hmmm…
