I would be afraid to put it with mini-hostas, and Alchemilla mollis doesn't like
me. I nursed several plants of it along (trying it in different locations) and
it sulked, barely alive, for years. I note that this year it is gone completely.
But Marge's other suggestion is from the Amazing Coincidences Dept. I have been
growing Blue-eyed Grass with purple ajuga and yellow moneywort, just like her!
The latter two are hard to control, which is why I was looking for a change, but
I guess I'll stick with my current combination.
