When you rely on foliage over flowers, a plant rarely experiences a “down period.” The following are all plants that play an important role in my garden’s composition.

25.01.2024 - 15:03 / finegardening.com
Although it would be nearly impossible for any plant lover to choose just one favorite, here are a few of the standouts that look especially good in my Zone 6 Michigan garden at the peak of the growing season.

Deep Borders Let You Have It All: Plant IDs
(Lilium ‘Conca d’Or’)
Zones: 5–8
Size: 4 to 7 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; moist, fertile, well-drained soil
Native range: Hybrid
This fragrant beauty may produce up to a dozen flowers on each strong, upright stem. In windy areas, it may need staking. It is very hardy and reliable, with cheerful blooms that glow against a column of deep green foliage over a long period in midsummer.
(Xanthocyparis nootkatensis ‘Green Arrow’)
Zones: 4–7
Size: 18 to 30 feet tall and 2 to 5 feet wide
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade; moist to average, well-drained soil
Native range: Coastal regions of northwestern North America
‘Green Arrow’ Alaskan weeping cedar has a distinctly linear, upright form and reliable, grass-green winter color—characteristics that set it apart from ‘Pendula’ Alaskan weeping cedar. Although impressive when planted as a single specimen, it is even more spectacular in groups.
(Baptisia perfoliata)
Zones: 4–9
Size: 3 feet tall and wide
Conditions: Full sun; moist to dry, well-drained soil
Native range: Southeastern United States
This unique-looking species of wild indigo has rounded leaves punctured by wiry stems. Its small yellow flowers appear at leaf axils starting in mid to late summer and continue for several weeks. The distinctive texture of eucalyptus wild indigo combines beautifully with other perennials.
(Agapanthus ‘Galaxy Blue’)

Philadelphia Garden Show
When you go to the Philadelphia Flower Show, it helps to take along the right attitude. If seeing gorgeous, high concept gardens full of the most fashionable flowers makes you feel insecure, then take yourself elsewhere. If you need a massive dose of color, fragrance, humidity, and horticultural inspiration, then the Philadelphia Flower Show will be perfect for you. On my calendar, it officially marks the end of winter. It also reminds me of everything that a garden can be—provided you have a forklift, a crew of ten, at least $20,000 and the ability to make crocuses, roses and hydrangeas all bloom simultaneously.
