The deliciously colored maroon-brown leaves contrast nicely with neighboring plants through the season. Pure white flowerheads bloom in midsummer and stay open well into autumn.
This eastern U.S. woodland plant has clusters of small, fluffy white flowers topping stiff 3- to 5-foot-tall stems midsummer to frost.
The leaves of this hardy hibiscus are copper-red on top and orange-red underneath. Ruffly white to pale pink flowers, 10 to 12 inches across with a distinct red eye, bloom from midsummer to mid-fall with deadheading. Because the top of 'Kopper King' dies back to the ground in autumn and is late to break dormancy in the spring, interplant it with spring bulbs and overplant it with winter annuals not only to provide year-round color but also to allow the hibiscus to grow undisturbed.
Obedient plant is a clump-forming native perennial that grows aggressively. From midsummer to early fall, spikes of purple or pink (and sometimes white) flowers rise above sharply toothed leaves to four feet high.
Serbian bellflowers have an easy, undemanding habit. Creating a stream of lavender blue, the 1-inch-diameter star-shaped blossoms bloom reliably from late spring to early fall. The foliage remains evergreen in mild winters and needs to be sheared only once in a while to keep its appearance tidy. 'Blue Waterfall' flows beautifully along bed edges and through rock gardens in full sun to partial shade.
