This planting combination will look great year-around thanks to strong evergreen structure in a variety of foliage colors, plant forms, and textures. The burgundy infused new growth of Rhododendron 'Elizabeth' picks up the tones of Heuchera 'Mahogany' and provides pleasing color contrasts with the blue conifer and yellow box honeysuckle. Red blooms on the rhododendron enliven the scene in spring. Frothy variegated purple moor grass adds a bright note and a touch of movement.
