Herbs As Ornamentals
Eric loves to cook and decided this year that outside of the perennials and annuals that were going into his garden he wanted to incorporate more herbs as ornamentals, but edible ornamentals into the garden. So a lot of the open spots this spring were filled by some of his favorite plants to cook with. He's using basil splashed in between lantana and beautiful echinacea that's just now about to bloom. He has cilantro in the back, but also Chef's Choice rosemary, that kind of fell into the woody ornamental space. It's a great woody ornamental and if you love rosemary in food, it will blow your mind.
August isn’t the end of the pollinator season. As early summer blooms fade, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects still need steady nectar and pollen to fuel late broods.
