Pink Flowering Combination

This post is a note to myself. This is a list of the plants we have at this moment in time, which have pinkish flowers. Right now the plants are in several different areas of the property. I plan on transplanting them to a single spot in the future. I believe that once they are grouped together they will have a nice effect.

This is what inspired my need to combine these plants. The rose above is Rosa x 'HADvelvet' and the one below is Rosa x 'Radrazz'.


Some sort of sedum we have in a few places around the yard... not sure what it is. My best guess is Sedum spurium of some sort... Maybe 'Tricolor' or 'Fuldaglut'? Those don't seem to quite match though.


Rosa 'Queen Elizabeth'... lovely pink blush color that would go great with the other roses.


Another Sedum spurium species... best guess is 'Royal Carpet'


A miniature rose of some sort... buds start out bright pink and then fade to almost white.


Sedum spectabile (which has not bloomed yet...)


And finally this pale pink dahlia that I hope makes it through the winter (it should)!


Gardening is experimental, so do not be afraid to move things around and try new combinations!
