helpful hints
  • Underplant the Ferns with spring bulbs to extend the blooming season of your garden.
  • Deadhead the flower blossoms as soon as they fade to encourage your perennials to produce more flowers.
  • You can attract butterflies and birds to your garden by providing a water source nearby for birds to bathe in and a shallow butterfly basin filled with sand and stones to attract monarchs.
  • Give your garden perennials plenty of space, especially the Monarda, to assure proper ventilation during hot, humid summers.
