Teresa,
For what it's worth: We stick them anywhere. Bear in mind I'm way out in the countryside in a semi-isolated farming area. Shown here in a mix: Celebration Song, Hello Darkness, (upper left) I. Pallida (upper right) & English Charm (lower right). All planted around either Sarah Bernhardt or Edulis Superba Peony. (I've lost track which.) Second picture is I. Pallida planted at the side of an out-dated cast iron well. Third picture: Monsignor in a mixed bed of perennials including chives and daylilies.
The next picture below is an 'over-flow' row of SDB's out in a vegetable garden. The second photo is near the garage with mixed perennials & Japanese Maple. I tore part of the fencing out this year due to rot. The third picture is in the same bed showing Tweety Bird, Raspberry Jam & Wish Upon A Star.
In the next photo we have Honorabile growing wherever it wants in a semi-shaded location along with ferns and bleeding hearts. The middle photo is of Joe Ghio's Olympiad in a mass planting of mixed TB's. These require a lot of maintenance every second year. The third picture below shows Happenstance & Gypsy Romance in a mixed perennial setting. Still working on some of these plantings- a never ending job!
