BLACK-EYED SUSAN ZINNIA
• Bergamot, black-eyed susans, harebell, false sunflower,
purple coneflower and prairie clover are just a few of the
many native summer bloomers.
• Narrow-leaf sunflowers, stiff goldenrod, gumweed and
many-flowered aster are good choices for late summer.
Gardeners need to have patience, since native perennials
may need a growing season or two to establish strong
root systems. In the meantime, you can supplement your
garden pots and plots with non-native annuals that will attract
butterflies, such as cosmos, petunias, French marigolds,
zinnias and nasturtiums.

wildflower specialists at Prairie Originals (prairieoriginals.com)
for more complete information about native plants.
