| Companion Plants | This Daylily's clear peach or apricot flowers blend well with the pastel blue blooms of Maries Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus mariesii) and Lily of the Nile (Agapanthus africanus). For a pretty pale-yellow companion, try the understated My Signature Daylily (Hemerocallis hybrids My Signature) and Dwarf Euryops (Euryops pectinatus 'Munchkin'). |
