Favourite Colour Combinations

Posted by dee_can 5b/6a (My Page) on

I have a mostly shady garden so I use impatiens quite a lot. Usually I put single colours together, but I was thinking of doing a mixture of colours in some areas.

Any suggestions on what colours look good together?

Thank you.

Dee- I went all white out front this year just for a change, but in the back I am blending lipstick pink, white and purple everywhere because those colors really pop against my deep shaded yard. It'll be fun to hear from others about this too!

Thanks, Nan... I posted this question in the Annuals Forum, too, because I was beginning to get worried that this forum had less traffic. I've got some good answers so far, if you want to check it out. I'll keep checking back here, too, though.

Your combo sounds very nice - I'm sure it'll be eye-popping in your shady backyard. Everyone, so far, has said to use white in combination with other colours. I agree with that, for sure.

Thanks very much.

Due to the resounding number of opinions ; ) I decided to go with Nan's suggestion of lipstick, violet, and white. Thanks, Nan - if they work out, I might post a photo.

I can't wait to see Dee! Mine are in stall mode right now, but it turned fairly warm this weekend and they look to be coming alive...FINALLY! lol I'll also share photos when they get off the ground and really kick in.
