ARTICLE PREVIEW from Fine Gardening March/April 2006 (#108)
Make a bold statement in the sun or shade by Valerie Easton Perennials come in many shapes and sizes, but one of the most indispensable forms is big-leaved selections. They draw attention to themselves immediately and provide season-long interest. When combined with other plants, they add weight to a scene and provide bold contrast. In this article, garden writer and designer Valerie Easton shares her favorite big-leaved perennials. Breaking the plants into groups according to their light preferences (full sun, partial shade, and full shade), Easton explains each plant's growing requirements and provides insights on how to use them effectively in the garden.
