<snip> >What plant in your border are you proud of in the month of August? > Is it a shrub or perennial? sun or shade? >Duncan McAlpine Here in Zone 5 my peegee hydrangea is spectacular as are the white coneflowers. Both grow in full sun. Further along my sunny butterfly garden the buddleia is getting ready to bloom. It looks like such a weed up until mid August and then it explodes into colour. The monarch butterlies it attracks are a bonus.
