Good Morning! Everyone wants their gardens to have flowers. Big, bright, colorful blooms, My Gardener included. But every good garden needs some structure and not just from garden art, trellis' etc. Perennials can give add a lot color and structure to your garden with just their growing habits and leaf color. Some of my favorite perennialstoadd forstructure and leaf color include: Variegated Japanese Solomon's Seal( Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum'), Heuchera micrantha ' Molly Bush', Heuchera x. ' Lime Rickey', Cimicifuga racemosa 'Atropurpurea'( Snakeroot), Stachys byzantia ( Lamb's Ears), Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'.
I use these plants to break up the green of leaves and add some dramatic punctuation to my gardens. Check at your local garden center. Happy Gardening!
