-
Lycnis, blue Spiderwort and burgundy Pygmy Barberry. -
White Snakeroot. I like the burgundy foliage and it blooms a white flower late in September. -
Yellow Wild Milkweed, feverfew and Clustered Bellflower -
Maltese Cross is a great reseeder and the bright red/orange flower knocks your socks off. -
This is what we call our ditch daylilly. Spreads wildly but such a beautiful orange. Clematis Jackmanni purple really compliments it. -
This is my WILD AREA. I edge it with bent twigs that I insert in the ground in early Spring when the soil is wet. -
Shasta Daisy -
Coryopsis Tickseed, Feverfew and a burgundy houseplant I call Moses in the Bullrush. I start quite a few of these plants in the house then move them outdoors in Spring. I like the foliage color dotted all over the garden. -
Clematis Nicobe -
Rose Campion some people think is a weed. I just make sure I deadhead it before to many seeds fall. People are really attracted to its vibrant color. -
Cranesbill Johnsons Blue -
My mobile. I made this to bring a smile to the faces of people who walk my gardens. -
White Valarian is VERY FRAGRANT. -
Pink Astillbe and Cimicifuga \'Hillside Black Beauty\' not only has that beautiful burgundy foliage but its flower is VERY FRAGRANT. -
Pink Astillbe, Ladies Mantle and White Foxglove. -
My favorite best performing perennial....Gaillardia \'Blanket Flower\'. -
Meadow Sage \'Maynite\' blooms about 2 months if deadheaded or just cut back.
This is my Wisconsin zone 4-5 June garden. We only get 6 months to enjoy these vivid colors.
