If you love a garden thatโs wild, whimsical, and full of pollinators, these native plants are a must! They thrive with little fuss, return year after year, and bring color, texture, and life to the landscape. Hereโs why Iโll never be without them: ๐ธ Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) โ Hardy in Zones 3-9, this drought-tolerant perennial loves full sun and attracts butterflies and bees. The seed heads also feed birds in winter! ๐ผ Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) โ A cheerful, heat-loving bloomer for Zones 3-9, thriving in sun to part shade. It reseeds easily, making it a cottage garden staple. โค๏ธ Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos) โ This showstopper thrives in Zones 5-9, producing dinner plate-sized blooms in late summer. It loves sun and moist soil, perfect for a cottage garden with a wild edge. ๐ Liatris (Liatris spicata) โ A tall, spiky bloomer for Zones 3-9, adding vertical interest. It thrives in full sun and attracts pollinators galore, plus itโs deer-resistant! ๐ Coreopsis (Coreopsis spp.) โ A low-maintenance, long-blooming native that thrives in Zones 4-9. Loves full sun, tolerates drought, and keeps blooming from summer to fall. Want a low-maintenance, high-impact cottage garden? These native perennial plants will return year after year and never let you down! ๐พ๐๐ Save this post so you remember what to plant this spring and share it with a friend who loves growing flowers.
