Giant kale
Looking like a tall baby's-breath, giant kale creates a beautiful cloud of tiny white flowers that seem to float as much as 8 feet above surrounding flowers.
Also known as colewort, it is an imposing perennial with huge leaves up to 15 inches in diameter, which contrast with the tiny white flowers produced in late spring to midsummer. The plant needs moist soil to prevent it from becoming ragged looking. Even so, it may die back temporarily in the heat of summer.

Sedum'Autumn Joy' sedum can fill in the gap left when giant kale foliage dies back in midsummer. The rosy mounds of 'Autumn Joy' pick up the pace in late summer.
