Hi genji,

The purple leaved perennials are Cimicifuga simplex 'Hills Black Beauty'. Another cultivar I like is 'Brunette'. It's a great late blooming perennial with white scented flowers and the foliage looks great even before it blooms. It can take quite a bit of shade but the leaves stay nice and dark if it gets about half of a day sunlight. It's a 4' tall plant but stays nice and narrow (2-21/2' wide). Here's a link for more information on the perennial. I hope this helps!

@ 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".
