Having looked round my herbaceous borders I have too many purple flowered shrubs 
. Luckily I have a hydrangea which because I am on an acid soil has lovely sky blue flowers when it comes out. 
I planted flowering alliums in front of my purple rhododendron not realising the flowers have an identical colour and looking from my kitchen window can't be distinguished. I will move them next year.
Every year I move plants around as I try to picture how plants would look in various positions.
