A suckering shrub that spreads by rhizomes into a hedge. Has unique flowers that are rarely noticed and very cool fruit capsules that stand out in early fall. Nice red fall leaves.
Great wildlife plant for the back of your planting. May reseed aggressively, but seeds are good for wildlife. Large and interesting form. Host plant for some butterfly species, and provides nectar for hummingbirds.
A taller, perennial black-eyed Susan that will persist longer than the R. hirta, under ideal growing conditions. Has a sweet smell, hints the common name.
Annual. A wonderful smelling plant (we think it smells like maple syrup). Beautiful in all stages and seasons (late fall/early winter is Tracy's favorite form). Also called rabbit tobacco.
Annual/biennial, so allow to reseed. Best in a part shade, moist area. Can deadhead for additional blooms. Bumblebees and other long-tongued bees are the primary pollinators.
A unique long-blooming flower for your Monarch waystation or Goldfinch garden. Taproot allows it to withstand dry/drought conditions. The red corollas of this flower give it a unique look.
The leaves, long-lasting flowers, and fluffy seed heads of this plant add interest to your garden for several seasons. Visited by small bees and flower flies. Not preferred by deer or rabbits.
