Re: Re: add white and butter yellow to: purple and orange

Just went out to check what whites I could suggest.  
Campanula latifolia alba is the strongest one.
Hebe salicifolia (shrubby) takes more space, may not be hardy for 
some, and gives a fluffier effect.
Galega  alba (Goat's rue?) is a softer white
Achillea 'W.B. Childes' is excellent, but is about finished blooming 
here now.
The dwarf white cosmos 'Sonata' is very satisfying for so long 
you might make an exception  and use annuals.

Should have checked for correct names in my previous post.  Coreopsis 
'Moonbeam" and Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' are what I should have said.  

Didn't see the original post so just assumed you meant for full sun.  
 Roscoeas come in a lovely pale yellow too.  
What purples and orange plants are you  using?
