I have Daffodils under my Hosta. Works same way.
It looks good with the burgundy mums that are blooming right now, love it.
I really, really like this, can you think of a burgundy colored plant that would last all summer. These mums will only last a few weeks. I might keep them together when I plant them in the garden, since mine seem to be more red than orange, but I suppose it just depends on what time of year it is.
