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. Visit Bee Better Manitoba ( beebettermb.ca ) and the wildflower specialists at Prairie Originals ( prairieoriginals.com ) for more complete information about native plants.
