You hit the nail on the head...but, so far, I've found a way to compromise. I've purchased several more Indian pinks and planted them in the back yard where I'm hoping they'll take off. If they do well, I'll probably move these individuals from the front yard around to the back next spring or fall (if we're still here). I'd love to see how your gardens are coming along if you ever get the chance to share photos!Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-61045381323983242602018-07-26T10:11:25.358-07:002018-07-26T10:11:25.358-07:00You might have already found a solution and I’m no...You might have already found a solution and I’m not a garden designer, but I wonder if adding a plant with soft yellow flowers between the phlox and Indian pinks could help diffuse the clash you see? A yellow columbine, a Coreopsis, or a small Oenothera could complement either plant. I tend to be a “more is more” gardener though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-49506883477322594112018-06-07T15:31:38.677-07:002018-06-07T15:31:38.677-07:00It seems to me that you've already answered yo...It seems to me that you've already answered your own question, Cynthia, but you don't like the answer so you're hoping for something different. It appears to me that your options are to live with the clash or move the Pinks. My question is are they thriving well enough where they are to move a part of them to another location so that you'll still have some if they don't like the new home? Tough choices! I am frequently thankful that I have not been blessed with an eye for color and design. It seems to make life so difficult sometimes. I love what you have in that bed and appreciate your posts.Wise Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598734586831020622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-15543497562055178692018-06-07T09:27:02.148-07:002018-06-07T09:27:02.148-07:00move the redmove the redgreggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-23791530873917681232018-06-07T07:11:31.552-07:002018-06-07T07:11:31.552-07:00I hadn't read your blog before commenting.

If you added some plants that were two-tone-red/yellow or other combinations, the differences in color from blue to red etc. should not stand out as much.Just a thought.charlottenoreply@blogger.com
