I thought I'd post it anyway as maybe someone else will come along with some more suggestions on companion plants. It's a great question! It's such a gorgeous plant in the spring, but when it goes dormant it leaves a sizable black 'hole', doesn't it. At least up here in partial shade it waits until the late summer to go to sleep! I've managed to fill the hole 'somewhat' with a potted fuschia on a stand, but I'd love to find that perfect companion that would fill out and hide the hole just when the Gold Heart was fading away. Something along the lines of Sea Lavender would do the job I think, if only it would like the same conditions! |
