Plant Package Description
This wonderful collection of plants for full sun supports many pollinators and bird species. These deer resistant plants look great together and will do well in a moist, well-drained garden soil. Spent seed heads of Purple Love Grass and Orange Coneflower provide food to many birds while the pink and white blooms of 'Little Joe' Pye Weed and Culver's root attract bees and butterflies. Pollen and nectar from all the beautiful blooms will feed the bees. (Of course, no plant is deer "proof" depending on the number of deer in your area and how hungry they are! Protect the plants until they are well established).
Purple love grass attracts butterflies and moths, is a host to Zabulon skippers and the seeds are a good food source for songbirds.
Joe Pye seed heads can last well into the winter and attract American goldfinch, Carolina wren, dark-eyed junco, and tufted titmouse as well as many butterflies and bees.
Orange coneflower brings bees and butterflies to the garden.
Culver’s root supports many pollinators; many species of native bees including green mason bees, green metallic bees and masked bees as well as butterflies, moths, wasps and flies.
