  • Silphium perfoliatum (Cup Plant) - Adds bold foliage and late summer flowers to match large scale plantings.
  • Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium) - Brings pollinator value and soft flower heads to break up grass massings.
  • Panicum virgatum 'Northwind' - A contrasting vertical grass that provides textural interplay in meadows or screens.
