What you see here is the view of a passer-by to a corner of my garden. It turned to be nice this year, with the addition of echinacea (light purple flower) and cosmos (dark purple flowers). In the background, there is a group of thuja sunkists.
Do you have any ideas for further improvement of the view, for the next year?
Fantastic question. You need something with coarse texture, huge texture. Have you ever seen Gunnera? Dinosaur Food? 
I've never seen it this large, but close. Your flowers would be very happy with this guy as a 'body guard'? Lots of other ideas but this is the one that came to mind and would definitely slow people down at the corner!
