Perennials on Parade and Bee Smart Event!

Sun and Shade Perennials

Easy-Care Blooming Native Plants with Fringe Benefits

Rose (Swamp) Milkweed: Asclepias incarnata

This pink-blooming rose milkweed thrives in full sun, and provides a source of nectar for adult butterflies. Preferring moderately-moist to moist soils, it is a great choice for rain gardens. Other varieties of native milkweed plants from our selection include an orange-blooming Butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa; the greenish-white blooming Whorled Milkweed , Asclepias verticillata, and the mauve-white Common milkweed , Asclepias syriaca. Let us help you choose the right milkweed for your landscape!

Cardinal Flower: Lobelia cardinalis

Blue Cardinal Flower: Lobelia syphilitica

The herbaceous perennial Lobelia plants provide meaningful nectar to hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbit resistant and easy to grow, they will thrive in full shade, full sun, or part sun/part shade areas. Prefers moist soils.

Our fine gardening division crews are busy applying organic fertilizer and our custom compost tea to nourish our client's plants and soils.

Japanese beetles are being removed by hand, and treated with an effective rotation of hot pepper wax, insecticidal soap, and horticultural oil.
