With blooms spanning three seasons, this collection offers both ecological value and stunning beauty.

What is Included:

This collection features a trio of native perennial plants, carefully selected for their role in supporting wildlife and thriving in damp areas:

• Meadow Anemone (Anemone canadensis): Blooming from late spring to early summer, this perennial produces cup shaped white flowers that act as an early nectar source while forming a lush groundcover.
• Virginia Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum virginianum): Summer brings dense clusters of small white blooms that become a fragrant magnet for diverse bees, butterflies, and moths.
• Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale): A towering late summer and fall bloomer that provides a striking burst of yellow flowers and serves as a host plant for local butterflies.

Key Features:

• Moisture Loving: Perfectly suited for naturally damp areas or water features, helping to filter water while providing an oasis for wildlife.
• Seasonal Blooms: Enjoy continuous color and pollinator activity from late spring through fall.
• Pollinator Support: Attracts butterflies, bees, moths, and other beneficial insects with its nectar rich blooms.
• Deer Resistant: Stands up to deer browsing, ensuring its longevity and beauty.

Available in collections of nine, 18, or 27 plants to suit gardens of any size.

Why Choose the Brookside Blooms Collection?

This collection is more than just a garden. It is a vital habitat for birds and pollinators. By planting these native perennials, you will create a thriving ecosystem that supports songbirds, butterflies, and bees while adding vibrant, seasonal color to your landscape. Perfect for sunny borders, meadows, or naturalized areas, this collection brings a magical glow and ecological benefits to your outdoor space.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun to part shade with moist, well drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There is no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
