Swamp Milkweed, White
Swamp White Milkweed is an herbaceous, deciduous perennial plant sought for its attraction as a host plant for Monarch and Queen Butterflies. Milkweeds are named for their milky sap, which consists of a latex containing alkaloids and several other complex compounds including cardenolides.
White Swamp Milkweed is a small milkweed that grows to 1 foot or a little more, needs moist to wet soil and prefers a mix of sun and shade. This plant has a very showy display of flowers intermittently from spring through fall.

Narrowleaf Sunflower
Perennial wildflower that grows about 2-3 ft tall, blooming in late Summer-Fall. Plant in full to part sun in moist soil. This plant readily colonizes and can fill in empty space easily. These are particularly attractive to pollinators and put on a spectacular show at bloom time.
Red Torch Mexican Sunflower
Brilliant, red-orange, 2-3 inch flowers; an excellent butterfly plant. These bloom over a very long season, and the plants produce masses of blooms. The large 5-foot plants are very beautiful. I enjoyed these as I traveled along the roadsides in the high mountains in central Mexico.
Teddy Bear
Beautiful 3”- 6” double, deep yellow blooms. Plants grow 18”- 24” tall, and the double blooms are very unique! This is a superb variety.
Evening Sun
Dark centered large 8-10" flowers in rich coppery shades have a long bloom time, opening more flowers from the many-branched stems. Excellent cut. Feed the birds later in fall as they ripen seed.
Marigold Nematocidal
The highest amount of alpha-terthienyl in any marigold available. The trick to good success is to plant just the marigold in your target area for at least 2 or 3 months so the nematodes will only have the marigold to attach to and then die. Self-seeding annual.
Blanket Flower
Blanket Flower is a tough and showy annual that reseeds readily and perpetuates almost continuously in the right environment. Blanket flower spreads and gets a 1 or 2 in spread and height. The flower heads are up to 2 in. across and made up of yellow, three-cleft ray flowers surrounding a purplish-red sphere of disk flowers. This plant blooms from late winter through summer or early fall. It is very drought tolerant and requires well drained soil with strong sun light. It is salt air tolerant.
American Wisteria
American Wisteria, Wisteria frutescens, is a native species distinct from the Asian species. American Wisteria grows much smaller than the Asian species hence the sometimes used name, Dwarf Wisteria. The fragrant lavender blooms are produced against the foliage after winter dormancy breaks in the spring making a more striking appearance than the Asian Wisterias.
Cosmos, Rubenza
Unique and elegant color. As blooms mature, petals fade from a deep cranberry to an antique rose with hints of amber. The medium-height plants (36-48 inches) are very productive, flowering early and continuing to bloom if cut or deadheaded. 2 ½ -3 ½” blooms. Excellent cut flowers. Add color to gardens and plant containers.
Germinate in as little as one week. Eight-12 weeks from seed to the first bloom. Plant or thin Cosmos to about eighteen inches apart for best growth.
Early pinching can help promote a bushier and denser plant. Deadheading is required to have continual blooms.
Harvest when petals on the first flower are just opening, but not yet flattened.
Cosmos can reseed themselves and this makes them ideal for those looking to establish a "mini-meadow". The site you select for your cosmos planting should be in full sun; well-drained, but of low fertility.
