Companion for pineapple sage

| I grow pineapple sage each year in a large pot. Flowers underneath get shaded out and/or outcompeted for water. Pole beans grew great last year, but the sage seemed to grow away from them, wasn't as tall and full as usual.
The only thing on the Wikipedia list is rosemary. I don't think that would overwinter in a pot, and this pot won't fit through any doors. I also till up the dirt every year and replace part of it.
Would onions work? Any other annuals?

| Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) would be a great companion with your Pineapple Sage. Chives, in the spring, will bloom an attractive light purple flower and these are excellent in salads. |

| pineapple sage is so invasive and gets so huge, I like to keep it to itself--everything in my garden is pretty close together--I like the jungle effect, but I wouldn't give it a "buddy" in the garden. I do like the idea of something little and blue in front of it, but I don't think there's anything that would be of mutual benefit. |
