Perfect Pink and Purple Plant Combinations

Put old-fashioned color favorites -- pink and purple -- to work in your flowerbeds with these new-style garden compositions.

 Keep It One and the Same

Consistency in plant type can also provide diversity in color, as shown by this bountiful pairing of different shades of hydrangeas. From pale pink to rich salmon and light purple, the uniform grouping offers a subdued yet interesting rainbow of pastel colors.

 Rely on Color Clusters

Another way to combine color is to group the same hue in shifting blocks of plants. Here a flowerbed shifts from purple and pink in the front -- stonecrop and dianthus -- to purple wild indigo, then foxglove in a deeper shade of fuchsia in the back.

 Practice Repetition

In this lush flowerbed, dianthus, catmint, and foxglove are lively and vigorous choices that gradually fill out the garden space. The design is duplicated down the length of the bed, which is an effective method for offering different blooms while maintaining a two-color composition.
