NEPETA
If you’re looking for a tough-as-nails plant that will bloom for months on end with very little pampering, catmint is sure to make you purr with delight.

Not only does it attract a whole host of pollinators, Nepeta will bloom from spring until fall with very little attention or care. An initial shearing of the first set of flowers once spent will encourage re-bloom for months! Nepeta is drought tolerant once established, adored by honeybees, and luckily left alone by deer and rabbits.

Low-maintenance, fast-growing, long-lived Veronica is a great addition to any backyard or garden. Another deer and rabbit resistant selection that attracts pollinators and makes a superb, long-lasting cut flower. It comes in a range of colors, including white, pink, blue and purple.

Salvia are excellent, easy-to-grow perennials for a summer show of intense color. They perform best in full sun and are real heat lovers. Not only do the flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds and bees, the plants are also very deer resistant. Salvia responds well to shearing after blooming to prompt fresh foliage and blooms. Drought tolerant once established. |
