Coreopsis 'Lime Rock Ruby'

This turns our to be a beautiful small perennial.  It is a ruby color and has 
tons of buds.  It is about fifteen inches tall and is just blooming now for 
me.  That means it probably has bloomed elsewhere much earlier in the season.

I have two patches of this plant, one in the gravel. You get more flowers and 
a better plant with water but both are OK.  If it makes it through the winter 
as easily as 'Moonbeam' which it resembles, it will be a very popular plant.  

Just one small thing, the ruby color is lost in a sea of green, this plant 
needs a companion.  What would be a good companion for a delicate leaved 
plant covered with ruby colored daisies?

Where is this heat coming from, we are looking at a hot week and I have to 
attend a tour on the worst day?  Anybody hiding from the heat today would 
have seen Lauren Springer's garden on HGTV,  Erica Glasener.
