Injustice, the "perfect plant" doesn't have to be perennial or even expensive. Just that it complements the pot in a way you like

When I choose a pot for a special planting, the guide I use is, it must compliment the planting w/o becoming a focal point and detracting from the plant material in the pot.

It can be hard getting the rgiht plant, in the right size, for a given plastic nursery pot that fits your pretty pot just so. Sticking tongue out
Plant it and they will come.
