So that's one suggestion.

Penstemon is another genus or group.

of native plants that are great for bees in terms of providing something for pollinators.

There are many species that are native around the U.S. They're showy and they have nice capsules that take a long time to ripen, months between flowering and when they're ripe and start to open, but then again, pretty straightforward to clean.

also show the gravel garden area so i really like how they have lots of different things going on lots of different spaces zones really aren't they different zones so that they can show off the different plants in their best habitat so the gravel garden that had things like there'd been a bump and we've seen that before and a peter uh gavaniana as well and then he also shows his pot plant collection to show how you can cram and i mean he crammed lots of plants into pots to create really full displays Wasn't that beautiful? Stunning.

There was a Penstemon blackbird, which got replaced by an Echinacea vintage pink.

Yeah, because the Penstemon had come to the end of its flowering, really, for that year.

And the Echinacea is just kind of starting.

So that will flower right through into the autumn, winter.

Jennifer, quickly, what's your next one? Okay, I

have Penstemon Red Rocks.

okay

this girl is insane so in the spring when it's blooming we are inundated with bees it's evergreen it's evergreen so you gotta love that if you deadhead it it blooms like mad again if you don't deadhead it'll still bloom a little bit too so if you don't have a lot of time to garden you're fine but the fact that it's evergreen yeah is such a gift i think

Echinacea is a good one.

Penstemon.

Rubeccia maxima.

rebecca it and just some of the other rebecca's not just maxima but the rebecca maxima is nice because it's got that chunky foliage and i think that that contrasts extremely nice with the like amsonia hue brick deis thin foliage right anything
