New items this week: annual Black-eyed Susan and perennial Bee Balm. Quantities will depend on how many bloom by Friday. Although the Black-eyed Susans are annuals, they seed themselves very well; so they may as well be thought of as perennials. Bee Balm (Monarda didyma) attracts pollinators and humming birds, but not deer. Bee Balm is in the mint family, and deer don't like plants in that family.
