We have an extension with cedar cladding on it. It is supposed to fade to a grey/silver colour after a year or two. We have a plant bed directly in front of it and it has been suggested that planting black bamboo would look good against the cedar.
I was just wondering if ann AAMers with good knowledge of plants could suggest if there are other plants that might look nice against cedar?
