Complimentary planting
In our previous home in Eastbourne, where we lived for 27 years before moving to York in 2007, we had a mature peat bed with a Magnolia Nigra close to an Azalea luteum, and their joint display of purple and yellow in April/May was an impressive sight, something we would like to replicate here.
