Coreopsis - One of the best and oldest varieties of cultivated wildflowers. These plants prefer the well drained soil poor so many of us are blessed with. Coreopsis is a great cut flower that is deer resistant, drought tolerant, butterflies adore it. Coreopsis has also proven to be a lady bug magnet to our gardens. Lady bugs are very beneficial to any garden as they are known to eat aphids. Lychnus - This perennial forms dense clumps of silver-green foliage and multi-branched, gray green stems, and produces pure white blooms for much of the summer. They are very drought tolerant, and are known to be deer resistant. Sea Holly - Vibrant silver blue foliage with metallic blue seedpods that sport radiant spiny bracts. Excellent in cutflowers & dried arrangements. Cut before they fully open as these will continue to open in the drying process. Hanging them upside down to dry ensures weaker stems do not flop over. Great conversation piece for a dinner bouquet or garden focal point.Long grown in seaside gardens for its salt tolerance. Deer resistant.
Coreopsis Lychnus Sea Holly
(Coreopsis lanceolata) (Lychnus coronaria) (eryngium amethystinum)
