Wildflowers

Chocolate Daisy

(Berlandiera lyrata) Chocolate flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other important pollinators to the garden. An herbaceous perennial, the chocolate scented daisy grows to 2 feet in height. Growing chocolate flower plants with abundant growth may take on the form of a sprawling ground cover, so allow plenty of room when planting.

Swamp Milkweed

(Asclepias incarnata) is a member of the milkweed family. Its flowers are loved by bees and butterflies. Like other milkweed species, it serves as critical host for Monarch Butterflies.

New England Aster

(Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) is a fall flower. In the late summer to early fall, the profuse daisy-like blooms appear. Pollinators love the blooms.

Sneeze Weed

(Helenium Autumnale) Its abundant yellow blooms can be found in late summer to fall, often attracting bees and butterflies. Common sneezeweed can be found in much of the United States, in moist to wet openings, edges, shores, and thickets.
