MunchkinsMom's Plant List

A note from MunchkinsMom
Just starting my wildlife garden, and some off my plants are not even in the ground yet. I'm trying to get them all started this fall in hopes of a glorious spring!

Tall Verbena (Verbena bonariensis)

Have
I'm hoping I may still have this plant, although I once spent much time trying to eradicate it. Now that I'm trying to establish a wildlife garden, I'm hoping it will pop back up somewhere. It's a beautiful plant, but very tall and a prolific seeder. May 12, 2016: Plant emerged (Oh goody, goody! It decided to re-grace me with it's presence, despite all the indignities I heaped on it by trying to eradicate it years ago. Happy it's back, and the butterflies are, too.)

May 9, 2016: Plant emerged (All the wonderful rain we have had reawakened these beautiful little plants that I had and eradicated many years ago. They are back in full force, in fact taking over spots I intended for other plants to have room to expand. I'm going to transplant them to other areas, and even try some in hanging baskets.)
