Hard to Kill Perennials



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.
