Design tip

Summer flowers carry the middle of the season, so place it where the bed needs color once spring bulbs fade. Plant in generous groups rather than single spots, and set them among perennials whose new growth covers the fading foliage.

Where to see it

This plant can be seen in the perennial border at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
