Creating Drama with Tall Plants
Most of us know that taller plants should be placed in the back of the garden. The reason is twofold: They look better there, and they won't block the light falling on the shorter plants.

Tall plants can ground the garden and also add dramatic flair. I placed tall ironweed in the middle of one garden area in my yard. It stands out, is bold, and makes a great statement in August and September.

Silphium, another tall plant, will attract wildlife and brighten your yard wherever you place this tall beauty.

Still other plants -- for example, Angelica and Joe-Pye weed -- will perform year after year, and although very tall, have a somewhat lacy feeling.

Whatever tall plant you choose, you can't go wrong adding one or two specimens to your yard.
