Orange Mums Burgundy Purple Coral Bells Foliage

Another variation of the orange and plum/purple colors. The mums are a burnt orange and the shadows in the flowers petals are the same plum color as the heuchera, "obsidian" coral bells' leaves. The same color combination as I showed from the day before, but different plants and intensities of color.

The Fall season really has alot going for it if you have contrasting foliage and flower combinations next to the oranges, reds and yellows! I have been a burgundy or royal purple, as some call it, foliage fan for years! The purple makes the orange seem more intense.

HOT Burgundy Foliage Garden Colors

The colors just sizzle together; don't they? The burgundy foliage annual (for us in US zone 6) is an ornamental pepper called, "Black Pearl." The leaves are glossy and the color is "Hot!" Pair it up with orange and it's a smashing success. You could also choose an burnt orange crocosmia instead of an orchid.

(Do you think that this arrangement is up against stone? It is actually a chalkboard that has been erased over and over again and it has the patina of stone.)
