Companion Plants and Products
Monarda fistulosa (Wild Bergamot)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wild Bergamot provides the characteristic aroma of Earl Grey tea and is a favorite of butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.
Ratibida pinnata (Yellow Coneflower)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||
Yellow Coneflower grows and transplants very easily. The cone-like green centers eventually change to a dark purple or brown with surrounding droopy soft yellow petals. This plant makes an excellent cut flower and is also drought tolerant.
Echinacea pallida (Pale Purple Coneflower)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pale Purple Coneflower provides nectar for hummingbirds and butterflies, and the leaves provide food for the Ottoe-skipper larva. Deer don't seem to bother this early summer bloomer when only a few other sun loving plants are in bloom.
Eupatorium maculatum (Joe Pye Weed)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Also called Spotted Joe Pye Weed, its dusty rose-colored flowers will bloom for many weeks in July
and August, becoming absolute magnets for dozens of species of
butterflies. If you love Joe Pye but have too much shade, try Sweet Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium purpureum).
