Asclepias tuberosa

Clump-forming herbaceous perennial with pea-like white and lilac flowers that appear from mid summer. The plant tolerates poor soil and partial shade, but will grow more vigorously in full sun.

This native wildflower bears large white or pink flowers with a purple lower lip that sit on honey-scented foliage traditionally used in “Maybowl” beverages and retaining its fragrance once it’s dried. Melittis Melissophyllum is a very tough plant and can survive long periods of summer drought once it’s established.

This Aster variety is a strong perennial for your garden with large soft lilac daisy-like flowers with a bright yellow center. Flowers emerge in early summer right until late autumn and are longlasting as a cut flower.
