Physocarpus Lady in Red with Cammasia

Thats a lovely combination

those red leaves are amazing, very showy.

great combo Amy , my Cammasia are only leaves at the moment ... they better flower ...

Those blue Camassia go with so many contrasting shrubs, that is a beautiful combination.

Thats dazzling and very beautiful.

Gorgeous colour mix

Thanks,the lady in Reds foliage isn't quite in her full glory yet ,I have about 4 in the garden ,I love the colour ....

They are amazing colours. I have the golden one...two if it in the Golden border. It's not the same as the dark ones...less upright and not as strong growing...but that's the case with a lot of golden foliage shrubs.

I don't have a golden one Karen but imagine it would contrast beautifully with the copper of Red Lady ...

Hi Amy, I bought a lovely one...probably the same as yours...yesterday and apparently it is a cross between the golden one and the really dark one. I thought it would be lovely on my red patio in a big pot (for now). It's hard to find anything with red foliage of any stature apart from Photinia which I don't really like, and Acers which don't like my sunny,windy situation.

Hi karen

I dont have in this garden but I did in my last one , how about Berberis thunbergii atropurpurea "Helmond Pillar

Gg

Thanks GG...I don't want anything too prickly as its for the patio, but I did see some lovely red Berberis today..more dark purple than red though aren't they. I'll look that one up though....thanks. :)

I do like the habit and the colour...will consider it. :)

My new physocarpus isn't Lady In Red. It's Diabole D'Or :) But its similar to Amy's here.

I thought about a Berberis for you Karen but then thought it may be to prickly , here's some shrubs you might like to look up ..I have a gorgeous Deutzia x hybrida 'Strawberry Fields " also a Spiraea jap. "Anthony Waterer" also a Prunus x Cistena all in my red bed ,the Prunus is Purple-leafed Sand Cherry height in 10 years 4ft .. I'm not sure if I believe that as they often grow bigger than stated ..

Thanks Amy! :)

I do like that Prunus :) Thanks x

Karen I forgot to mention my Cytisus "Boskoop Ruby " I put a photo on the other day ,did you see it ? also in my red bed ... x

Yes, it's lovely Amy. Rachel has that in her garden too. Thanks :) x
