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. Babies Breath - These plants will produce a mound of airy cloud-like,pure white blooms. Do not divide this perennial. It resent division or being moved because of its extrememly deep taproot. If it becomes necessary to relocate your Babies Breath, be sure you only attempt this in its dormant season. Seasoned gardeners have been known to propagate from cuttings in Spring but starting again from seed or seedling is the surest way to multiply your stock. Pyrethrum Daisy - Striking daisy like flowers, on strong stems, from scented, feathery foliage in a range of pink and magenta shades. Early blooming perennial and long lasting cutflower that is deer resistant and drought tolerant. Although they are strong stemmed bloomers, a tomatoe cage placed over the 2nd year clump will aid in keeping the plant erect in windy conditions. Plants are used to make organic pesticides and so stay bug free.
