So where does this Monarda fit in? In the photo above it looks pink and below it looks more purple. In either case I think it clashed with the Sun Garden. What do you think?
Between wanting the Sun Garden to stay true to its palette and needing both more height and color in the Monet Garden I made a last minute decision to transplant it just before freeze up.
There are two Monardas in the Sun Garden, both bought at the Friends of Gardens Manitoba annual plant sale and both labelled "red". The other stayed relatively small and never bloomed so let us hope that it is actually red, while this plant grew so vigorously in one year that I divided it into three.
By surrounding it with blues and purples I hope to make it seem more purple and less pink. I added it in the green rectangle otherwise reserved for Delphinium (top left), where they should get as much sun as any plant in this garden. Nothing to do for now but hibernate and wait.Do you think this color of Monarda was better suited for the Monet Garden or the Sun Garden?
