Butterfly Plant Collection
The Butterfly Plant Collection contains 1 each of A. 'tuberosa', A. 'incarnata' and A. incarnata 'Ice Ballet'. Butterflies love to visit these flowers for nectar and the foliage of Asclepias is the only thing Monarch butterfly caterpillars will eat. Asclepias is tolerant of both wet and dry soils and needs plenty of sunshine to bloom heavily. A beacon for butterflies and a low care perennial. Excellent for borders, as tall ground cover or for cut flowers. ... more information
Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant.
