I use white Shasta daisies here and there to separate my gloriosa daisies
(rudbeckia), Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha), Jerusalem sage and Lions
ear (Leonotis leonuris). The gloriosas and Mexican bush sage are
complementary, but the white and dark green foliage adds a nice crispness.
I use silvery lambs ear (stachys?) and Artemesia "powis castle" in various
places as spacers also.
