Yellow flowers on silver foliage is the doyen, but there is a choice of many smaller growing types with pastel shades of flowers.

Verbena - If I could only have one plant in my garden, it could possibly be Verbena bonariensis - simply because I know that year after year, it will re-seed itself and sent up the erect stems of violet-maroon flowers that are so beloved by the 'useful' flying insects. Yes, it is biennial and not perennial, but as good as! There are other hardy verbenas as well. Of which, more later.
