You can use it with plants requiring drier or average conditions Looks great with blue or purple colors of Agastache, Catanache caerulea, Eryngium, Nepeta, Linum lewisii, Platycodon, Scabiosa, Veronica or reblooming Salvia nemorosa hybrids. But can be combined with many plants on the average to drought tolerant scale like Achillea, Artemisia, Aster, Echinacea, Paeonia, bearded Iris, Perovskia, Sedum and medium to taller grasses (Muhlenbergia, Panicum, Pennisetum, Sporobolus, Schizachyrium). But goes also well with plant that appreciate more moisture like Amsonia, Baptisia, Coreopsis, Hemerocallis (daylily), Lilium (lily), Stachys, Vernonia or tropical plants.
