Its soft colour sits nicely between white and deeper pinks in a mixed bed. Give it a sunny, sheltered spot with excellent drainage, since wet winter soil does more harm than cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion Plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCerastium 'Silver Carpet'\u003c\/em\u003e spreads white flowers at the edge in May and June. \u003cem\u003eAgastache 'Mango Tango'\u003c\/em\u003e adds orange spikes at 41 to 46 cm from midsummer to early fall. \u003cem\u003eNepeta Whispurr™ Blue\u003c\/em\u003e fills in behind with blue flowers from June to September.

Avoid heavy clay and places where water sits. Water regularly through the first season, then during dry spells. Remove spent flower stems right at the base about once a month for steady rebloom. The foliage stays green through winter, so don't cut it back in fall. Clean up any damaged leaves in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Darwin Perennials brought the Dreameria® series to garden centres in 2018.
