Combine like a man: perfect plant partners & ideas

What factors should be considered when combining men's loyalty?

For a combination with men's loyalty that is worth seeing, you should definitely consider the following factors:

• flower color: blue, white, light purple or pink
• heyday: May to September
• Location Requirements: sunny, humus and nutrient-rich soil
• growth height: up to 35 cm

Combine the Loyal to Men, also blue ones lobelia called, best with plants that are also in bloom all summer long.

The men's faithful prefers sunny and nutrient-rich locations. Your plant partners should feel at least as comfortable in such a location.

With a growth height of a maximum of 35 cm and a rather arching habit from the ground up, the Mannentreu does not fit in with all other plants. The combination plants should therefore be matched to the growth.

Combine faithfully in the bed

The cool flower colors of the men's faithful can create wonderful contrasts in combination with the warm colors of other plants. Blue strains show off phenomenally alongside yellow or red companion plants. On the other hand, the overall picture looks calmer if you combine similar flower colors with each other. In principle, all plants that bloom profusely and are either the same size or a little larger go well with the men's faithful.

Optimal planting partners for the men's faithful include:

• Rock Alyssum
• Alyssum
• daisies
• elecampane
• scented stone rich
• Patagonian verbena
• balloon flower

Combine with rock alyssum

Both the Rock Alyssum and the Male Loyal like a sunny location. They both grow cushion-forming, compact and are content with a small growth height. As a team, they create wonderful contrasts in their surroundings, especially when planted in the front of the bed. Choose blue to violet for this combination, as this is the most beautiful contrast to the sun-yellow rock alyssum.

Combine with Patagonian verbena

The Patagonian verbena also goes well with the men's loyalty. However, as it grows larger, it should be placed behind its planting partner in the bed. From there it cannot shade the men's loyalty, but even ensures that it really comes alive optically.

Combine in the balcony box or pot

Mannentreu is particularly popular for balcony boxes, but also for pots and hanging baskets. It goes well with plants that also bloom profusely and require a sunny spot. Whether typical balcony flowers such as geraniums and petunias or something more extravagant - men's faithful makes friends with many companion plants.

• geraniums
• Nasturtium
• Hanging Petunias
• cape basket
• Blue Daisies
• Angelonia

Combine with trailing petunias

The hanging petunias look most advantageous positioned at the edge of the window box. The men's loyalty finds its place right next to it. They are both richly stocked with flowers throughout the summer. If you like it conspicuous, combine two different colors with each other. Otherwise, choose a similar color and enjoy the painterly overhanging picture that the two in the balcony box make.
