In fact, there is:
- Red;
- Gold;

Or you can add pinecones to your bed areas. Some apartment complexes do this, and it really looks great. There is the knotty texture that breaks up the sameness of box-like garden beds and the lawn.
Ideas

Edging
This marks a definite line between your grass and garden areas. But you should not do what many have and use the cheaper plastic stuff. It looks cheap and makes you look like an amateur in landscaping. And it won’t last – before you blink twice you won’t know where you’re garden areas end, and your lawn begins. Instead buy the tough, rigid stuff in either steel, aluminum, or fiberglass. Any good landscaping website will give tips on how to do this correctly. All you need to do is research on the internet. There are many landscaping blogs that you will find that have great articles on edging and other things to do for your spring landscaping project.
