I'm so excited...last year I began a new butterfly/humming bird garden. When I first moved into my new home it was half woods (which I kept) and half dust dirt, you know the kind you can't get a shovel in? After two years of working I still have so much room..this includes my butterfly garden.
Right now I have butterfly bush, zinnias, cannas, and, I hate to admit it...but I have bulbs coming up that I don't remember what I planted. I have a small flowering tree that is yet to be ID and crocus and a small, very small pond surrounded by flat rocks for drying and warming all in full sun. I am planning to buy two rose of sharon's to add at the back of the garden, mexican sunflowers, and butterfly weed as well.
I need height, gradual height. Great nectar plants in the range of 18 inches and higher oh but maybe some kind of nectar ground cover or very short plant to go where my crocus are after they are spent, it's right next to the pond or puddle, lol. I have plenty of room and can add on as well. I have *some* host plants in my other gardens for them. I'm hoping for suggestions on plants to make this a wonderful nectar garden!!!!
Thank you,
Mishkas |
