I’m loving my native plants, they have more benefits than for pollinators alone. They’re also host plants to caterpillars and have long roots to help with flooding
Wonderful! I’m recreating my small home garden space. We just lost our community garden property here on the central California coast. AND, we are in extreme drought. Trying to keep up my gardening spirit… Thanks for the walk through your inspiring pollinator garden! 🌻🐝💦
Hi Carola, we are so sorry to hear about the loss of your community garden. We have quite a few contributors that are in California so we understand the challenges. There are wildflowers and native flowers that are beautiful, attract pollinators and are drought-tolerant. Rain water capture, when it rains, can be helpful and growing things like herbs, beans, okra, and some squash varieties that don't require as much water. Please stay in touch, we would love to hear how your home garden space grows. 😊
@@KelloggGarden EXACTLY! (& I'm an artist so I can relate! 😃) They're just amazing when backlit ... like lil glowing lanterns or umbrellas. I go crazy like a kid with delight whenever I see them - the watermelon 🍉 & orange 🍊 colors especially. Here in California, the California poppy is our state flower .. pretty, yeah... but not as exiting as the Icelandic. Snap Dragons are a big kick. We used to play with them as kids working their little mouths like puppets. I also adore Gerberas, Dahlias, mums, carnations, nasturtium s, hibiscus 🌺, fuchsias, ...they all may not be typical favorites like roses (Peace is probably my favorite scented, but light yellow ones are my faves), but any flower that BURSTS like mums n dahlias send me to the moon! My mom likes more exotic flowers like Irises, orchids, & African violets ...indeed beautiful & sophisticated, but I like explosion n happy pop of color 😁 .... (Sorry... get carried away when talking about flowers n trees too) lol
@@OneHope4Heaven do you know if everyone felt like doing this planting these kind of flowers you would have a pollinator baby boom which is exactly what this world needs right now
Add a few butterfly hosts to this mix and you've got a true butterfly garden. Milkweed for both nectar and Monarchs, nettles, hollyhocks, regional or globe Thistle, Everlasting, pussytoes, Pipevine, Passionvine, and dill will increase butterflies by supporting their larvae
Hi Irasema! We are so sorry to hear about your echinacea 🙁 though they are hardy plants they can be susceptible to disease. Diseases that can cause coneflower leaves to turn black include alternaria leaf spot and bacterial leaf spot. Alternaria leaf spot starts out as small black or brown spots on the plant's leaves and develop pale centers. The symptoms of bacterial leaf spot are similar, but the spots are often surrounded by a yellow ring. Prune leaves and stems affected by leaf spot, make sure to clean your shears with rubbing alcohol afterward. You can apply a coneflower fungicide or a bactericide it will not cure the plant disease but can keep it in check. Make sure there is good airflow, try to keep water off the leaves and stem of the plant, it needs plenty of sun and well-draining soil.
We're happy to help! If it isn't currently planted in well-draining soil, you may consider repotting your plant into a container with well-draining soil or amending the existing soil. Eight hours of sunlight is enough. 😄
You absolutely can! In Zone 9, the best time to plant wildflowers is in the Fall. Additionally, you can continue to plant flowers such as alyssum, borage, sage, scabiosa, sunflowers, sweet peas, yarrow, and zinnias. Check out our Zone 9 Flower Planting Chart for more information on the best time to plant flowers in your climate: www.kellogggarden.com/flower-planting-charts-by-zone/. Please let us know if you have any questions!
Rolando you have a lot of choices to grow like snapdragons, cosmos, coneflowers, nasturtium, yarrow, black-eyed susan, and quite a few more. You can check out our planting charts for more info. www.kellogggarden.com/flower-planting-charts-by-zone/

Beautiful and relaxing

That was a fun walk through the garden! Those poppies were so pretty.... they're my favorite flower (Icelandic, to be specific). Thanks for sharing!
The Iceland poppies (Papaver nudicaule) are a rainbow of delight. 😍 They are so dreamy just perfect for an impressionist painting. 😁

how do you care for your echinacia flower. Mine has black spots and they dry out so easily.

@@KelloggGarden thank you!
I don't water to much, should I change the soil? it's on a pot and is 8 hrs enough?
