As a general rule, I'm not overly big on garden design with a planned balance of colors and textures. Instead, I tend to prefer a more hodge-podged approach, splashing different colors more or less at random.

However, I was strolling around the local nursery Friday morning and was suddenly inspired to pick up a couple of yarrow plants like the one above, take them home and intersperse them among and behind my short-stemmed shasta daisies. I think the contrast of red and white will look quite nice.
