It’s August 2024, and my native plant gardens are looking fantastic! There are lots of plants in bloom, some that are already setting seed, and pollinators of all sorts coming to visit! The show-stoppers right now include lanceleaf coreopsis, great blue lobelia, and sneezeweed! Take a peek below for time stamps for specific plants (common & latin names) in case you’d like to jump to particular plants of interest.
My native plant garden tours aim to show you how these plants grow over time to better plan using them in your own suburban garden design. Feel free to share any tips you may have about these plants in the comments!
