A patch of Agastache foeniculum (three 3” pots, $5.99 each, from Prairie Nursery) is leaves for tea since early June and now in bloom, feasted on all day and early evenings by three kinds (at least) of pollinators, also one type of beetle, with small starter plants growing at base and in surrounding soil, reseeding easily.
And this afternoon’s visit to local nursery: native starter plants and prairie grasses look great. Pots are larger and $10 more, with many of the same as mail order Prairie Nursery. It’s easier to imagine these in landscape design—a big difference in choice since a few years ago.
