I noticed a companion planting by my unidentified siberian, which I am
assuming is Orville Fay, that works well. At the base of the sib is Nepeta
"Dropmore Hybrid" which was bred by the great Canadian horticulturalist
Frank Skinner in Dropmore, Manitoba. It is very hardy for our Zone 3 area
and only gets 12 to 15 inches tall and blooms on and off most of the summer.
The sib and the nepeta are blooming together now and the shades of "purple"
are wonderful together. The nepeta repeats the purple of the iris.
As your siberians bloom, I'd like to hear about companion plants for
specific siberians.
