A color combination isn't always obvious. Saturated hues vie for attention in purple alliums, burgundy iris, purple lupine, gold arborvitae, and yellow yarrow. When planning a purple and gold combination, remember that both colors run the gamut of shades from saturated to pale and warm to cool. Any combination will blend, but often looks best when you stick with blooms that are similar, such as all saturated, warm colors.
If you have a plant that grows tall, add dimension with something low-growing. Here, the bright yellow blooms of low-growing perennial Sedum kamtschaticum and annual purple verbena make a splendid carpet at the feet of tall purple and yellow irises and spiky annual yellow butter and eggs (Linaria vulgaris). If you don't want butter and eggs to reseed, keep it deadheaded.
When planning your flowerbeds, mix it up a little. Start with tall, spiky foxgloves (shown in pink and light purple), and spires of deep purple delphiniums. Add contrast with rounded shapes, such as yellow roses and nasturtiums. This grouping is easy to change from year to year because the nasturtiums are annuals, the foxgloves are biennials (growing from seed one year and blooming the next), and delphiniums are short-lived perennials.
Welcome Pink
Looking for the perfect partner to go with purple and yellow flowers? Pink always works. Pale yellow daylilies and pastel pink roses give a cool welcome in the foreground, while warm tones of purple coneflowers, red-purple liatris, purple catmint, and golden black-eyed Susans anchor the back. All prefer a full-sun location.
