Saw it in a client's yard and loved it. Anyone use it in their designs?

I have seen them in an entrance to a very upscale neighborhood around here. They are placed in front of barberry bushes on an island in a very long oval around the statue of the entrance. The island is about 10 feet wide and 200 feet long. Has a unique color contrast with the red barberry, green chives, and purple/pink 'flower' of the chives....

Use it in perennial beds all the time. Looks great and tastes great in salads and cooking.:chef:

We grow alot of it in our gardens here at our house. The flowers look great in salad. My wife wants a entirely edible garden at some point. Seems like a fun project.
