Monarda (Beebalm, Bergamot)
Although popular with generations of gardens, many older selections of our native Bee Balm or Bergamot are prone to unsightly foliage infections of Powdery Mildew. Modern breeding programs, especially several undertaken in Canada, have resulted in a number of outstanding new introductions displaying attractive disease resistant leaves. These new selections exhibit a range of growth forms; including a few outstanding dwarf varieties that greatly enhance flower forms in a range of bright, eyecatching color and attract butterflies. One of the easiest grown perennials especially in cooler summer climates provided one does not allow plants to dry out in summer. Precautions should also be taken to avoid excessive winter moisture which can easily cause rotting.

Phlox paniculata (Phlox)
Popular for over a hundred years, the Tall Garden Phlox remains a worthy component of the mid to late summer flower garden. Large colorful heads of tightly packed florets emit a rich, unique fragrance that graces through the garden and home when used in floral arrangements. Unfortunately, the foliage of many older varieties is subject to infections of Powdery Mildew especially in our warm, humid climate. Resistance to this problem is paramount in the selecting and introduction of new varieties. Sighting plants in a location that maximizes air circulation can significantly reduces disease problems. Newer vigorous and healthy introductions exhibit a wide range of flower form and color combined with an extended floral display period which is a factor enhanced by regular deadheading of spent flowers. Many new selections are now available in a range of forms and size many with strong stems that reduce the need for staking. These positive new traits combined with attractive, healthy foliage ensure the future popularity of these classic, longtime favorites.

Sedum (Stonecrop)
As water shortages, usage restrictions and conservation become more common; drought tolerance assumes greater importance when selecting plants for your landscape. The thick, fleshy, succulent foliage of sedums, with their wide range of form and colors, enhance value in present day gardens. Many of the newer tall, upright growing, clumps forming varieties produce stout, sturdy stems required to support the often massive flowerheads which develop during summer and burst into bloom during fall. Spent flowerheads, if left intact, create both ornamental winter interests, especially when covered by a blanket of snow and provides winter food for birds. Sedums are tough, easily grown, drought tolerant perennials with an extremely long period of ornamental interest.
