This mix of North American native perennials is perfect for pollinator friendly habitats. Native pollinators rely on native blooming plants, and these important species are the best sources of nectar and pollen for butterflies, bees, beneficial insects, and hummingbirds, and the seed heads serve as food for many species of birds. From the low mounds of dainty, aster-esque flowers of the white upland aster (a goldenrod) to the bright and cheery daisylike yellow blooms of the black-eyed Susan and the tall, fluffy, purple, rosy red, and white spires of the gayfeather, and everything in between, these ornamental wildflowers provide a long season of beautiful blooms to perennial borders, naturalistic landscapes, cottage, meadow, and prairie gardens, year after year. They diversify a vegetable garden, making it healthier and more robust, and enhance pollinator activity, increasing yields. And they provide loads of showy blooms for cut flowers, and some are suitable for dried arrangements. These hardy companionable species are low care and easy to grow in most USDA Zones across the U.S. But this mix is not recommended for southern Florida or extreme southern Texas. Collection Includes:Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) - pink to lavender flowers and aromatic leaves with a minty smell.Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) - cheerful bright yellow flowers. Blanket Flower (Gaillardia aristata) - yellow flowers with a dark red base. Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) - clusters bright orange flowers. Dwarf Evening Primrose (Oenothera missouriensis) - yellow flowers. Eastern Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) - nodding, red and yellow flower. Gayfeather (Liatris spicata) - tall spires add a strong vertical accent. Lance-Leaved Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) - daisylike yellow flowers. Lewis Flax (Linum lewisii) - small pale blue flowers with dark blue veins. New England Aster (Aster novae-angliae) - daisylike asters purple rays and yellow centers. Ohio Spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis) - showy clusters of three-petaled blue flowers. Ox-Eye Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) - sunflower-like yellow cone-shaped central disk.Prairie Coneflower (Ratibida columnifera) - yellow or yellow and red-brown drooping rays surrounding a long, red-brown central disk. (Also known as Mexican hat). Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) - showy daisy-like purple coneflowers. Rocky Mountain Penstemon (Penstemon strictus) - spikes of showy bright blue flowers. Scarlet Cinquefoil (Potentilla thurberi) - loose clusters of long-stalked, rich, deep crimson flowers.White Upland Aster (Aster ptarmicoides [goldenrod]) - a mounded profusion of white flowers.
