    Not in that border if I can help it @Loxley. Lots of pink in the east garden though. Well I have just ordered some Superstar and a single Roma to try in said east garden, oh and some lavender, euphorbia and... I’m already about to be swamped by incoming perennials so hey, why not add to the bombardment. I’m not even going to look up your last suggestion!

    I know! I really value the aesthetic of restraint and simplicity that comes with a limited plant palette, but my attitude to plants is like Pokemon, gotta catch em all!

    😆 well I hesitate to say I’m ‘fortunate’ to have a large garden @Loxley because I do create a hell of a lot of work for myself and it’s ruinous on the pocket, but I do try to keep distinct areas of the garden with limited planting and colour ranges.

    The whole of the front garden is pink of varying intensities with purple, lavender and white. The back garden has a range of warmer orange/yellow tones offset by similar purple, lavender and white plants. There is also red in one border, but I’m gradually reducing it because it’s too visually messy and most reds turn pink - and that’s just not on!
