  I have six gorgeous Stargazer lilies growing in front of a white fence. What perennial would you suggest (preferably dark blue or purple), can I use as a background for them.

    Monkshood (Aconitum) is the perfect companion to Stargazer Lilies. Nice and tall and dark purple. It comes in other colours as well.
