With very large (3 in. wide or 7 cm), semi-double, silky pink blossoms, award-winner Anemone x hybrida 'Konigin Charlotte' or 'Queen Charlotte' is a luminous and eye-catching Japanese Anemone variety that is perfect to enliven the late summer or fall garden. Dancing and swaying in the breeze, the attractive blossoms, counting up to 10-15 petals, are gracefully carried on wiry stems above mounds of three-lobed, dark green foliage. A popular choice.

Quite compact, Chinese Silver Grass 'Kleine Silberspinne' is a remarkable ornamental grass for many reasons. First, its modest size makes it perfect for small gardens. Second, its fine-textured foliage, which consists of arching, narrow green leaves with white midribs, turns to warm reddish-bronze shades in the fall, and creates an exquisite fountain shape that stands out beautifully and sways gracefully in the slightest breeze. Finally, graceful, reddish flower plumes emerge in late summer that will change to pale brown as they mature and provide a delightful winter interest. Grows up to 4 feet tall (120 cm). Drought tolerant, it is deer and rabbit resistant!

Regarded as the best of all Miscanthus species and cultivars, 'Morning Light' features a unique and exquisite vase shape that stands out beautifully in the garden. Its fine-textured foliage is slightly ivory variegated, making it look silver from a distance. Blooming later than most Miscanthus cultivars, 'Morning Light' displays tiny crimson-red plume flowers in late summer or early fall, which change to silvery white as they mature and provide good winter interest. Rarely flopping, it grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm). Drought and dry soil tolerant. Tolerates part shade, heat and humidity too.

Winner of the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, Verbena bonariensis is a tall and slender-stemmed perennial that displays rich lilac flowers in tight clusters atop long stems that sway gracefully in the summer breeze. They rise well above rosettes of lance-shaped, dark green leaves that hug the ground. A superior nectar plant, hummingbirds and butterflies love it, and so will you!

Standing out in the late summer and fall garden when other plants are starting to fade, Aster x frikartii 'Jungfrau' is one of the first Asters to bloom. This lovely easy care perennial plant creates a bold splash of color in the landscape over an extraordinarily long season with masses of attractive, blue-purple, star-shaped blossoms, 2 in. wide (5 cm), with slender rays and golden-yellow centers. Free flowering, well-branched with sturdy stems that do not need staking, this aster is easy to grow, trouble-free, mildew-resistant and a great source of nectar for butterflies! Fast grower, up to 2-3 ft. tall (60-90 cm), with a bushy, open habit.
