Re: Aconitum/Phlox(wasMatrona..)

Hi Gene -- Well, this year the pink and red phlox companions are a tall
pink daylily, a lovely yellow daylily in the back, blue platycodon, a
few clumps of feverfew and some calamintha nepetoides which is beginning
to bloom, a couple clumps of very dark heuchera near the front, along
with lady's mantle, a big stand of pink Echinacea which planted itself
there, some sedum Autumn Joy, and a red rose now in bloom (Alec's
Red). There's some Dropmore Purple Lythrum in the back, along with a
stand of late blooming Aconitum (October).  There's one big clump of
Astrantia in front (white), and a few Shasta daisies are still in bloom.
The lilies are done, the autumn clematis has yet to start.  This
bed really needs digging up and replanting, which I did to two other
beds this year and than ran out of steam. In another bed, the white
phlox have peach daylilies, yellow patrinia, more calamintha, and will
soon have white boltonia in back and violet blue low aster in front. The
pink/lavendar meadow phlox is in a front bed with liatris (purple &
white), rudbeckia, grasses, echinacea (purple & white), yellow
threadleaf coreopsis, creamy-gold daylilies, and yes, more calamintha
(do I love this plant? It blooms til frost, attracts bees, and is a
great filler, plus totally problem-free.)
