"Every garden needs a focal point and large, dramatic plants fit the bill nicely, getting better every year. These drama queen plants will take center stage in any garden. You only need one to make an impact, or use several as an eye-catching hedge.

Focal point plants are often described as architectural, because they add structure along with impact. That's why you don't want too many drama queens in your garden design, competing for attention. One well-chosen focal point plant sets the tone for the whole garden."
