Grandiflorum is also one of the most stately. Its striking foliage remains beautiful throughout the growing season. It is usually planted well back in the hardy border because of its height, smaller plants being in front. They maybe massed as close as 2 ft. or less out produce a fine effect when 4 ft. apart.
