Many times I pass a yard that just stands out from the rest. Plant combinations can sometimes just reach out visually and grab you. For instance, dusty miller looks great with salmon colored flowers or blue. I had some kind of blue bell shaped flowers, dusty miller, and white alyssum that was a knockout combination.(This happened accidentally so I thought maybe I should plan it). This year I am putting red, white, orange and yellow lilies and daylilies together with white alyssum edges. Another bed will have pink and purple daylilies, shasta daisys, pink malva and white alyssum. What do you plant together for maximum color effect?
