Cool Blue and Hot Pink Plant Combo
The evergreen anchor of this vignette is Barry's Silver lawson cypress, a slow growing conifer with silver-white foliage that tolerates some shade. A succession of blooms in deep pink from Weigela 'My Monet' and Astilbe 'Vision in Red' accentuate the luscious pink foliage of Heuchera 'Berry Smoothie'.
