There are some varieties of the native Aster that provide a magnificent carpet of blooms that rival Mums any day. Native Asters provide much needed food and cover to our local pollinators in ways that leave non-native Mums in the dust.
Nodding Onion is one of the easiest and most versatile native perennials to grow. And it’s a marvel to see it at any stage of its growing cycle. In early spring, its grass-like tuft of leaves emerge giving a splash of green to a garden that is just waking up from its winter slumber.
As fall nears, September shows that there are still garden treasures to behold. Many pollinators are continuing to take advantage of all there is to offer in a native garden. The Monarch caterpillar is getting ready for the next phase of life on it’s food-source, the Milkweed plant.
