LIRIOPE

Lilyturf is perfect for any garden needing an attractive groundcover plant for a difficult spot in the shade. The evergreen foliage appears grass-like and needs only a light trim in early spring to tidy up a entire patch. The fact that it blooms in late summer makes it all the more appealing. Liriope muscari is not as cold-hardy as Liriope spicata.

        • PLATYCODON

          The Bellflower genus provides wonderful mid-summer blooms in a variety of colours, many with purple tones. They all prefer full sun to light shade and average to rich, well-drained soil. Staking is only necessary for those plants grown in especially rich soil or in part shade. Space them one foot apart in a spot where they can be left undisturbed for a long time.

          Foliage is very late to appear in spring so it is recommended that the plant's position be marked well in fall to avoid cutting into the pre-emergent roots. This can be done with stakes, by leaving fall foliage in place until new foliage emerges the following spring, or by surrounding them with bulbs such as Grape Hyacinths whose early spring foliage with mark their late-appearing neighbour's spot.

Happy in either full sun or light shade, and in moist, well-drained, sandy soil, this beautiful flower "combines the precision of a thistle with the softness of an aster". Cutting stems back to the base will encourage rebloom. Also look for pink and white forms of this lovely native North American wildflower.

Most will reward your efforts to keep them dead-headed by producing a continuous sequence of blooms over a long period of time. An added bonus is that there is no shortage of well-known perennials to match to every type.
