Companion Plants
Golden yellow flowers on this delicate plant make it any easy companion in the border.
Use with purple flowering plants for good contrast, such as the rosy-purple of Spike Gayfeather (Liatris spicata) with its bright green grass-like foliage, or the magenta-purple of Bloody Cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum).
Or stay with a warm tone and use the scarlet-orange blooms of Georgenberg Chilean Avens (Geum x heldreichii `Georgenberg`).
