Yarrow is loved by pollinators and blooms from early summer into late fall. Flowers are beautiful dried! Drought tolerant, deer resistant and love full sun! ☀️
Put them in a spot where you are happy to let them do their thing!
Echinacea/coneflower
Loved by pollinators in late summer/fall! So many colour options. Leave the seed heads to set seed and spread. Good seed for overwintering birds as well! Love the ☀️! Deer resistant!
Hardy Asters
An easy care pollinator friendly native cultivar! Crucial for Bees, butterflies, moths as they flower so late into the fall when everything else is slowing down! Can handle a range of conditions! Sun, dry, part sun, and damp! Deer resistant!
Grasses
So many to choose from! It’s a good time to plant them as at the greenhouse they’re showing off this time of year so you know what you’re getting and gives them a head start for next year! They add an architectural element over winter, softness and movement to the garden. Extremely low maintenance, good cover for overwintering insects like ladybugs!
Deer resistant!
Most grasses like 6 or more hours of ☀️
Hydrangeas
So many varieties and can see their blooms in person at the greenhouse in the fall! Makes it easy to choose what you want! Instead of planting just one try for groups of 3 or more for maximum impact!
Panicle styles bloom on old wood, love the ☀️ but are water hungry! Hence the “hydra” in the name.
Arborescens bloom on new wood, can handle more shade and bloom earlier in summer. Water regularly for more, bigger blooms!
Leave the heads to dry overwinter for winter interest and for insects to overwinter in the heads or trim some and dry in a vase in the house!
Downside- deer love them!
Sedums and stonecrops
Are incredibly low maintenance bloomers for late summer into the fall! A favourite of bees! 🐝
Love hot sunny dry spaces where nothing else will grow!
Deer will eat these!
Russian sage
A beautiful lavender looking shrub like perennial, late summer bloomer that every pollinator appears to ❤️!
Super drought resistant, deer resistant, and easy to grow in full to part ☀️!
Joe pye w**d
A native shrub that is a pollinator favourite! 🐝 🦋 blooms later summer into fall! It loves damper conditions, and full to part sun!
A large, beautiful perennial!
Goldenrod
A native perennial that is loved by bees and butterflies! 🦋 The newer cultivars don’t spread!
Does well in sun, part sun, dry to damp conditions!
