Glenna Partridge Garden Design @ Cat Rowe. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! It's one of my favourite gardens to plant up each season. The garden is featured in the magazine Great Backyards this month in an article called "Living Streamside".

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Annie Thornton to Great Design Plant: Autumn Snakeroot
How to use it. This plant doesn’t require any preconceived garden use or design style, yet can make a strong, sophisticated and individual statement with it — it's the perfect Little Black Dress of plants. Its soft texture, form and preferred growing conditions make it a natural addition to any modern woodland garden, a nod to the "new perennials" movement.
