Moon Carrot Plant with White Flowers
Moon carrot (Seseli gummiferum, Zones 5–9) looks a little like Queen Anne’s lace, but with the volume turned up. It is a biennial I grew from seed. Last year it was just a clump of silvery lacy foliage, and this year it exploded into this display of white umbles. Since it is a biennial I don’t expect the plant to come back next year, but I’ve heard it tends to self-sow, so hopefully I’ll have new ones.

Black Scallop Ajuga
As a secondary hue on the color wheel, purple is an excellent unifier when threaded through a garden. It plays nicely with other colors. My favorite use of purple is in its darkest (nearly black or deep burgundy) forms.
