      :smile: Welcome back BeeHappy.

      I love your blue and yellow ... my kitchen colours to break up white cupboards, counters, walls and floor. In the garden I love pink and purple and pink and orange really 'pops'. Lovely colours to complement the variety of green leaves.

                    This combination works for me when it comes to providing winter colour. It's Cornus 'Midwinter Fire' underplanted with Ophiopogon.

                        @Trunky Bet that's striking in the cold of winter.... would really set the garden aflame as the name suggests... especially offset by the dark inky foilage of the Ophiopogon :)
                        :ThankYou:for sharing your plant combo idea :thumbsup:
