I love Foxgloves! My zone 4 garden is not always kind to these plants, they often die off from harsh winter temps, but I keep trying. Even if I can only grow them as annuals, they add such color and charm to the garden.

Butterflies are attracted to the colors red, yellow, pink, purple and orange!
The Butterfly Bush is the perfect way to bring them in.

This trellis needs work from some winter damage.
The list goes on from there!
What’s is your ‘must have’?
I learned how to grow Nasturtium while working at a small garden center.
Working in the greenhouse I was instructed to drop 5 seeds into each little 4″pot.
Within no time, the little lily pad leaves were emerging.
I loved how quickly they grew and their slightly messy, trailing vines.
That was the first year I planted Nasturtium in our window boxes.
I don’t believe I have missed a year since.
Nasturtium is one of my ‘must haves’.
What are yours?

I used Ammi or False Queen Anne’s Lace
in my daughter’s bridal flowers this summer.
The delicate flower is on my list to grow next year.
The variety is called Dara.
It was a wonderful cut flower with beautiful shades of cream to chocolate.
This flower is actually an ornamental carrot!
