    Plants with two colours of flowers

    The two cats that we had to say goodbye to last year are buried together under the apple tree in our back garden.
    They have a little grave with a few things on, mainly thanks to GS1! I would like to plant something there, and as both cats are there I would like something which has two colours of blooms. I have though this for a while but not done any searching yet.
    I wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

    What a lovely idea. There are some pretty pansy type flowers but I don’t know what they are called.

      It is a lovely idea, and I'm sure there are lots of plants with two colours.

      One I can think of at the moment is Pulmonaria Silver Bouquet. It's low growing with pretty speckled leaves. The flowers are purply-blue and pink. It's supposed to die back in the autumn, but mine have stayed in leave and even have a couple of flowers on them (if the rain hasn't washed them away this week-end. They're fully hardy. Mine self-seeded, and I think they like growing near a tree (apple in our garden)

      There are also lots of roses which change colour as they go from buds to open to fading. I'll try and find some more.

            There are some very pretty roses with more than one colour.
