I am with Sally in that you need something with the deeper color to marry it to the burgundy foliage on the other side. I would love to see a hot chartreuse color near the burgundy - would be stunning. But not sure it would look good in that spot because of the other shades of green you have ...but you could start with a spurge that would like that site and have varying levels of the red tones. I got these off the net. Would be in keeping with the shapes you prefer. I have a cushion near our rock pond side and it looks good. We do not have fish. The last two are photos of the cushion sp. at our house ..seen in the foreground. This is about as round as it gets. Will die to ground in winter -- which I like because it makes leaf clean up easy

Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
