Garden Gazebo

Renegade Gardener has become favorite garden reading for me. He put together a standout list of perennials to think about getting for your own garden in the coming season. Many of them are purple dusky foliage hues - which I tend to favor - so I am going to be looking for these varieties when I visit my garden centers.

Would you like the list?
If you want to read the descriptions and Renegade's droll commentary follow the links, but here is the short list of "must have" perennials for your garden this year:

• Ajuga reptans ‘Black Scallop’
