In my Wisconsin zone 4-5 garden the Blackeyed Susans are at there peak. There are so many other hardy perennials that also share the stage for the end of Summer. What are you favorites? Come and chat at my website forum all about gardening. www.larksperennials.com
2 of 17: Canna, Wyoming, get a pretty orange flower. I like it for the foliage, it adds drama to the gardens.
3 of 17: Sedum, Purple Emperor adds that burgundy that I am trying to weave through the gardens. Adds color all the time.
7 of 17: Goblin Gallardia only gets about 10 inches, a great long bloomer in the front of the garden.
9 of 17: Crab apples that don\'t drop. Looks so pretty with snow on them. Except the squirrels have found them this year and eat them ALL before the Fall season is over.
16 of 17: The hot pink plant is the Bloodleaf (houseplant). I use it to brighten up all areas of the garden. But it doesn\'t like intense sun. The Great Blue Lobelia is a thread through my gardens at this time of the season.
Comments / Questions
I love this plant, too, and often cut off the flowers because I find the foliage more attractive.
Sorry, I go through your photos by clicking on the numbers (sometimes the slide show doesn't allow me to really take a close look and read your commentary), so you probably have no idea what "plant" I'm talking about in my prior comment. It's ladies mantle.
