White Flowering Perennials

White flowering perennials add great contrast in the flower bed and tend to make other colors appear to be more intense.

In heavily shaded gardens white is by far my color of choice as it tends to light up any dark area.

A theme garden featuring all white blossoms is attractive and seems to cool down that area of the yard on a hot summer day.
