If native insects could personally thank you, they would be lining up at your door after you planted ‘Blue Stocking’ in your garden. There is just no better summer nectar provider than this spectacularly colored Bee Balm. This selection forms a strongly upright yet spreading potrait in the landscape with rigid square stems lined with large, pointed, very fragrant leaves that look and feel almost like velvet to the touch. Each stem is topped with globes of buds that open in early July to reveal tubular, two lipped blooms of shocking violet-blue that keep on blooming right on through August. The flowers really make an impression especially with your butterfly and hummingbird friends who will line up to gorge themselves on sweet nectar. ‘Blue Stocking’ is a perfect plant for grouping in the back of any garden in sun or partial shade, is more mildew tolerant than many Bee Balms and is very tolerant of moist to wet soil areas.

A signature native woodland plant, this selection is a must for its incredible show of early season color and its strong native critter virtues. Foliage emerges early, just as the weather starts warming in March, with its long, oval shape and blue-green color, followed quickly by a spike that rises above, clustered heavily with buds. These buds open in early to mid-April showing off long, trumpet-like flowers that start pink but rapidly turn blue. Blooming until early to mid-May, Virginia Bluebells stay in flower just long enough to wow you with flower power that is outsized for such a small plant, much to the benefit of early season moths, butterflies and native bees that cherish this early nectar source. Mertensia is an ephemeral, meaning it disappears in the landscape as warmer weather approaches in early summer. Rest assured it will be back next spring as long as it you plant it in moist woodland areas where it thrives and spreads.

This selection is one of the most tolerant, easy to grow groundcovers you’ll find, forming a trailing, creeping mat of foliage that you’ll love to touch. Perfect for massing, Mazus does equally well in sun or partial shade and is a joy to look at in May and June when bluish-purple flowers with distinctive yellow throats cover its foliage.

A natural treasure, Lupine is the one native plant that everyone, gardener or non-gardener, goes crazy about. Who can blame them with a flower that will light up a garden or any natural meadow with fat, tall, somewhat open spikes of bluish-purple flowers starting in late May and continuing into early July. It is a flower show that has become a signature event in the northeastern states and Canada on a plant that is quite easy to grow once established in the proper landscape situation. Like Lavender, Lupine craves drainage to thrive. It must be planted in a sunny area in soil with a heavy dose of gravel. Try planting this deer resistant, butterfly attracting beauty in groups for a powerful show of late spring color.

Dwarf perennial bearing spikes of pea-like blue and white flowers in early and midsummer among fern-like foliage. Compact form and full-sized flowers make this perennial a great choice for mixed perennial beds.
