#alliumcernuum or Nodding Onion is a great low growing perennial for full to part shade and dry to medium soils. It starts blooming in early summer into August! I love watching bees dangle from the flowers. We still have some left in the Nursery included in the 30% off sale!

We have Eupatorium hyssopifolium (Hyssop-leaf Thoroughwort) in the Nursery! This beautiful #nativeplant is one of our favorites. Growing in a vase shape, stays around 3' tall and 3' wide. Prefers full sun to part and dry to medium soils. Clump forming, but will spread by seed if it finds bare soil!

Eupatorium hyssopifolium is one of our favorites at LGS and there's tons of reasons why! Deer resistant, late blooming, pollinator favorite, drought tolerant, clay tolerant, and a host plant.

Lonicera sempervirens (Trumpet Honeysuckle) that was a tiny plug 2 years ago and still flowering in September! I've had lots of hummingbird visits on it this year. It's handling my heavy clay and full sun yard well. Want to add one to your yard? We currently have plugs in the Nursery! #nativeplants

The joy of finding #bumblebees sleeping on flowers. This one was slowly waking up when I got too close for its liking. Sticking its leg out in a ‘it’s much too early and cold don’t bother me’ fashion. #nativeplants #eupatorium

We are often asked how to attract #Monarch butterflies to gardens. Yes they need #asclepias species to lay eggs on, but they also need nectar plants! #Eutrochium #Liatris #Monarda are some of their favorites right now. What are the adults feeding on in your gardens? #plantnative #savepollinators

“Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species - man - acquired significant power to alter the nature of the world.” -Rachel Carson Let’s take that to heart. Pickup a new book, learn how to live with nature instead of curating a sterile or polluted environment.

Pycanthemum muticum is a pollinator and insect magnet! This fast spreading, aromatic perennial smells strongly of mint and is deer resistant. The flowers are subtle, but the leaves have a distinct silver color that give a nice glow when planted grouped together.
