Still perfecting your green thumb...well don't worry I have a list of some of the hardest to kill perennials.
One of my favorite perennial is the Shasta Daisy. I love to see fields of daisies growing.
⦁ Shasta Daisy- with this little garden super star, make sure to get the low growing variety such as the snow-cap, this prevents the need for stakes. You can extend the life of these by pinching off spent blooms.
⦁ Bee Balm These little wonders perform best for you in full-sun and if you want to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, bee balm will definitely be a great addition. Hardy in zones 3-9 and combines well with other wild flower type flowers such as, purple cone-flower, Shasta daisy, rudbeckia.
⦁ Stella de Oro’ Day-lily- This is a re-blooming day-lily, that loves full sun. Hardy in zones 3 to 9. Combines well with: Siberian iris, purple cone-flower and bee balm.
⦁ Purple Cone-flower (Echinacea purpurea) is an all time favorite for it's ability to attract bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Combines well with: bee balm, toad-lily, Siberian iris and Russian sage. Hardy in Zones 3 to 8.
⦁ Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) These fragrant little beauties are great for cutting and displaying in your favorite vase, but have been know to be toxic to pets. Combines well with: ostrich fern, toad lily and sweet woodruff. Hardy in Zones 2 to 7.
⦁ Goldsturm’ Rudbeckia are your classic yellow daisy. This is another garden all-star if you want to attract butteflies and birds also love to snack on the seeds. Combines well with: Siberian iris, catmint and Shasta daisy. Hardy in Zones 3 to 10.
⦁ Catmint (Nepeta hybrids) Combines well with: daylily, Shasta daisy and bee balm. Hardy in Zones 3 to 8. Keeps away deer and rabbits so if you grow vegetable this is a great plant to make a border around your veggie garden.
⦁ Mint (Mentha hybrids) This is a little herb that is an aggressive spreader, so make sure you have a way to contain it or if you want it to spread freely it will. Mint is good for planting where-it can be stepped on so the fragrance is released and of course growing it in pots to use in the kitchen. Combines well with: ostrich fern, bee balm and daffodils. Hardy in Zones 5 to 9. You cant go wrong with this little plant it does double duty.
