Pat,
I have dark foliaged dwarf cannas planted next to my bright purple phlox.
The dark foliage really sets off the bright purple flowers and adds depth to
the planting. An added bonus is the deep pink flowers of the canna;
surprisingly, they go well with the phlox blooms. I use dark foliaged plants
in many of my beds to add depth and shadow. They are particularly useful to
highlight blooms on other plants planted in front of them, or to create a
dramatic contrast. One of my favorite combos is yellow/green variegated
ginger planted with Blackie sweet potato vine and yellow variegated carex.
