Purple heuchera, agapanthus and what?

| I have a mostly sun bed in my backyard that is on the far side of a flagstone patio (flagstones are chocolate something). I have purple heuchera along the edge of the flagstones then Peter Pan white agapanthus behind those. It seems like I need something else.
Thanks!! |

How about some violas or mini pansys as some call them the purple ones really make the Heuchera stand out. Also Sweet woodruft as a ground cover.
Good luck |

| Japaneese painted ferns will grow in sun provided enough H2O. Or purple coneflowers, purple fountain grass or something gray like lamb's ear or powis castle artemisia. |

| maybe a smoke bush? they are one of my very favorite shrubs, and can be coaxed to grow side-to-side that than in a circle, which would make a nice backdrop. Lysimachia is an option, if you can find it- chocolate/burgundy foliage make the yellow flowers a bonus, but not needed (I crown mine before they bloom, like I do with the lamb's ear) there's also a standing artemesia whose name I never remember- 3 ft tall, upright habit, and a lovely silver/green color, perfect for the back of a sun bed :) there are also some new 'bronze' heucheras coming out- but I'll wait until they aren't $25 a pot, y'know? |
