Contrast with whites looks great.. a bed should carry only one color and flower form...

I see.Izhar i want to plant ULTRA series in solid colors in blocks,STARS in blocks & Hulahoop in blocks.all blocks will be separate.
Izhar one thing more i was planning to plant pansies in pots but i dropped the idea because i have to fill my flower beds.i have lot of space.another reason is that i want to grow pansies in separate colors.so it,l be difficult for me to arrange so many pots.the third annual i wish is my ever favorite Snapdragon Sonnet in 6 separate colors.
i could,t understand do u mean white petunia bed between every other color as dividing line.

Umar sb planting a flower bed in blocks and straight lines is boring and looks more like soilders standing in straight lines in different uniforms for a parade
Give your beds a new circular or semi-circular look or use other geometric shapes like a Hexagon or Rectangles ang use odd colours that dont usually mix... i guarantee that people will have a second look at ur beds in amazement and a new type of setting

Just go with the colours which u love the most and experiment with new combos which you have never seen before anywhere or have seen somewhere and loved it the most
if you want my opinion i wud go with solid colours in petunia:
white + salmon or light pink
deep blue + deep burgundy + white
yellow + light orange or salmon
The star, hullahoop and daddy vein mixes go well all the series planted seperately in boxes or containers to get the maximum effect

Solid dark colors look great with white or light color contrast...

nice ideas & feed back.i,l use solid colors.i have planted every color in past except the yellow prism sun shine.so this season i should enjoy it.Thanks Tahir & Izhar for such a nice feed back.first i was going to plant 20 colors but now i will narrow down the color selection.min 20 ft long bed of each color will be enough.my bed is 110 ft long & 3 ft wide.i,l plant three rows.
