I was wondering what color flowers would look the best with violet colored geraniums, and lavendar colored?

dianthus. Do you think either red, white, or pink begonias would look nicer? Also, are there any other kind of flowers that would look nice with these? The flowers have to like alot of sun.

pink begonias would be nice. Something dark royal purple sets off lavender well--petunias, for example, or verbena. White becopa or sweet alyssum is nice with lavender-colored plants, too.
Reply:If you have a lot of sun (heat?) begonias may not work for you. I use a dark purple and lavender verbena, lavender trailing lantana, lavender yarrow, and then throw in some bright yellow calendula here %26amp; there. I also have some bright red petunias for a little extra color. We are zone 8, with summer temperatures averaging low to mid 90's to 3-4 weeks of 100 degrees. The plants I've named are in full sun and do great.
Reply:Actually, I'd suggest using the color from the opposite side of the color wheel--yellow. You might try adding some yellow and purple pansies, yellow or white irises or daylilies, Of the ones you've named, though, I'd go with the pink.
Reply:Orange Gerberas


orange (sherbet) osteospermum


work well with purple





a booming red, red would make nice contrast. Can't go wrong with white.

Reply:I think yellow is a nice bright color to add with the purple, that or orange.
