Peonies + Primroses?? Ideas Please!

Hi everyone :) Hope everyone had a good christmas and new years!

Okay, I will admit this is for a future project and not for this year but I am brainstorming and looking for ideas and thoughts! I would love to do a peony bed with peonies being the main focus in various reds, pinks, whites...

Now I have been trying to think of an excellent companion for them, just one preferably to pair with them and not take away the show! I think I remember Tasha Tudor had Dames Rocket in with hers but I am not that big a fan of it....Now! Carol Klein's one book showed a picture of primroses paired with peonies(the primroses in bloom and the peonies just poking their stalks out). She mentioned the peonies will help shade the primroses during summer heat too. Has anyone tried this or has seen this pairing??

Or what suggestion or one plant, you think would be the best with them? (my fear is that the bed will feel dull after/before the peonies are blooming)
Thanks
