Create a sensory-rich pollinator haven with the Scent-sational Blooms collection, featuring a selection of native perennial plants known for their sweet, herbal, and vanilla-like aromas. This collection brings beauty and fragrance to sunny or partly shaded spaces while supporting pollinators and other important wildlife species throughout the growing season.

With blooms that span spring through fall, these plants provide nectar and pollen for butterflies, bees, moths, and hummingbirds, while their distinct scents offer an inviting experience for gardeners. Whether planted in a border, pollinator strip, or wildflower garden, this collection is ideal for low-maintenance, habitat-friendly landscapes.

What’s Included:

• Spotted Bee Balm (Monarda punctata): A fragrant mint-family member with unique whorls of spotted bracts that act as a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
• Snowy Milkweed (Asclepias perennis): A compact, resilient milkweed with delicate white flowers; it serves as a critical host plant for Monarch caterpillars and a preferred nectar source.
• Sweet Goldenrod (Solidago odora): Famous for its sweet, anise-like fragrance, this goldenrod provides vital late-season nectar and a burst of golden autumn color.

Key Benefits:

• Supports Biodiversity: Provides essential habitat and food for a wide variety of birds, butterflies, moths, and bees.
• Three-Season Interest: Carefully selected to provide consistent blooms and visual appeal from spring through fall.
• Sustainable & Resilient: Once established, these native plants require less water than traditional ornamentals and thrive without the need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
• Low Maintenance: Naturally adapted to local conditions and deer-resistant once established, allowing you to enjoy your garden with minimal effort.
• Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in collections of nine, 18, or 27 plants to fit any porch, patio, or garden size.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in a spot that receives full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to ensure deep root establishment. Once mature, the collection is highly drought-tolerant.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's 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.
