Hello Marilyn,
Now that is a palette to choose from. Lots of possibilities in all those
plants you have listed as companions. I do have a new hardy geranium ... do
not know if this spot would be too much shade or not. Nice large blue blooms
with a clean white eye that blooms from summer into early winter. G.
"Rozanne" Should make a good companion to the soft yellow of the salvia.
Hummmm, we may have something here.
