When Frost Flower/Frostweed/Winstem blooms~pollinators show up!

Verbesina virginica self sows in my garden, but, I've begun scattering seeds here and there for their architectural and pollinator appeal. Plant them as soon as you get them to insure the seeds get at least a 30 day stretch of cold, moist conditioning. If there's snow on the ground you can mix them with sand and toss the mixture onto the snow or winter sow them in a container so you can keep an eye on them, then transplant where their height will best appreciated.

Frost Flower from many seasons back!

Happy Planting

PS It's Monday and that means I get to remind you that it's never, ever, ever, ever, ever, a good idea to use pesticides in your garden, especially if you want pollinator visitors.
