Common Blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata) has exceptional frost tolerance and will survive in temps as low as -20! Shown here looking fresh even with a light layer of frost on its petals 🌼🌼

Joe Pye Weed is a fan favorite around here! In Northern Michigan, it grows wild in marshy areas along creeks and and ponds. I recommend it for landscaping in partial shade areas that tend to retain more rain than usual. Perfect for low areas in your yard. The flying insects love it, and so will you!

Dense Blazing Star (Liatris spicata) paired with Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) is a dreamy combo! 😍 Both of these native flowers are incredibly versatile when it comes to growing conditions!

Nodding Wild Onion (Allium cernuum), will be a new one for me this year! I planted several large patches of this spring bloomer in a few areas of landscaping around the yard 🌿

We’re finally seeing some freezing temps in Michigan (yay!). But the runt of my flock isn’t loving it, so she gets to sneak inside sometimes 🥰🤣

Great Blue Lobelia 😍😍
This flower is a bee magnet! Thriving in full Sun to partial shade, and tolerant of wet soil and occasional flooding. These beauties make a stunning addition to native gardens and beyond!

Grateful to finally see some #snow up here in #Michigan! I’m not a fan of driving in it, but we need these cooler temps for successful seed stratification and fruit production (just to name a few!)

A short walk behind my local YMCA pleasantly surprised me with a lovely variety of #nativeplants. These pics from late September show off the late blooms of #NewEnglandAster and #BeardedBeggarticks. I can’t wait to return in the spring!

Before and after - we purchased a 7 acre commercial property back in 2019 with the intention of #rewilding it back to native plants. This was my first flower bed transformation from 2022.
