MrNvestor Birmingham, AL February 26, 2007 06:58 PM	Need ideas for companion planting. Roses are Rosa "Radrazz".

MrNvestor Birmingham, AL February 28, 2007 04:06 AM	Looking primarily for perennials and annuals.
nifty413 North Central, TX (Zone 8a) March 1, 2007 06:35 PM	Perennials I have planted near my 'Knockout' include daylilies, salvias, verbena, shasta daisy, anise hyssop (Agastache), Russian sage, hollyhocks and several types of ornamental grasses. Annuals usually near my 'Knockout' include rocket larkspur, love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena), cosmos, zinnias, marigolds, and moss rose. Basically any full to part sun plant which doesn't require constant moisture could be a possible companion! :-)

Cheers Dove
MrNvestor Birmingham, AL March 26, 2007 05:44 PM	Thanks to all. Trying shasta daisy, anise hyssop, hollyhock, Munstead Lavender, and dianthus.
