In previous years, I pulled all but the purplest periwinkles. The past 2 years, a few pale pinks sneaked in and I left them. Now we're back to polkadot colors when reseeders start to bloom.
'Moonbeam' coreopsis is the palest yellow, just right with 'Sunny Knockout' roses, which have a tendency to fade to near white, and 'Brocaded Gown' daylilies in the palest yellow-green.

Those Periwinkles reseed themselves throughout my garden too. Moonbeam Coreopsis looks great mingling with the Sunny Knockouts.
Love the Sunny Knockout. I am considering buying one next year. This is the first year my periwinkles have reseeded, but they havent bloomed yet...so no idea what color. Yours are pretty.
