• “Magnolia acuminata x denudata ‘Butterflies’ (Butterflies magnolia) Blooming in spring with its gentle, upright, butter-yellow blossoms, this early little tree is easy on the eyes. Leaves will emerge later, after the blossoms fade, and remain clean and green until fall.
• Leucanthemum superbum ‘Becky’ (Becky shasta daisy) This cut-and-come-again daisy brings loads of mid to late summer joy to the garden. Great for cut flowers and a centerpiece in the perennial bed, this plant is as dependable as it is flowerful as long as you keep it out of soggy soil. It is pollinated by bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, and beetles but toxic to pets.
• Salvia x sylvestris ‘May Night’ (May Night wood sage) Another mint family favorite, this aromatic herb is well suited for the leading edge of a dry garden where it can attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds en masse. Also known as ‘Mainacht’, this early summer bloomer exhibits rich, fuzzy, violet-blue spikes alongside the catmints, yarrows, and early daylilies. This plant can be deadheaded to intersecting branches for repeat blooms with moderate effort or cut down to basal growth for rejuvenation.
