I've found rudbeckia fulgida much tougher than my 'Goldsturms'. I'm looking forward to my diervilla getting bigger. They are an incredibly tough native shrub.

Bought my place 8 yrs ago & proceeded to replace unnatural, chemical-dependent lawn grass with native flowering plants. Have reaped the benefit all summer & now into fall. Saw several dozen Monarch butterflies go from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. Plant milkweed!

I think the Physostegia is gorgeous! Natives can be exhuberant, or robust maybe, but not invasive. I wouldn't mind a few exhuberant natives filling in some of the bare patches here at the moment! Our dry summer conditions though tend to limit the spread of a lot of plants, especially in areas that aren't irrigated.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-52091286098431142422011-09-28T15:08:27.727-05:002011-09-28T15:08:27.727-05:00I recognize some of those natives.

In the right situation, they are wonderful, but they need to be watched closely when added to the garden.
