I love this little blurb in the middle of the week.
Wildflower Wednesday at Natives in Harmony.

It’s time for another Wildflower Wednesday! This week we’re highlighting a great native perennial for woodland edges and shadier areas of your landscape.

Meet Yellow Giant Hyssop (Agastache nepetoides), a robust grower reaching heights of 4-7’ tall in woodlands, wooded boarders, openings in forests, thickets, meadows in wooded areas, and powerline clearings with a wooded corridor. This plant dislikes dry, sunny areas and thrives in partial sun or light shade in moist, fertile loamy soils. In favorable conditions, it will slowly form colonies by spreading rhizomes. Unlike other members of the mint family, its foliage is not fragrant, but due to the bitterness of its leaves it is not a preferred browse by deer. The flowering spike contains many cream-yellow flowers that open a few at a time beginning in late summer and throughout autumn. This makes it an important long-lived nectar source for various bees, bee flies, butterflies, and moths during a crucial time of year. While the blooms are not very showy, yellow giant hyssop deserves a spot in any woodland garden, forest edge, or shaded pollinator garden for the late season resources it provides.
Height: 4-7’
Spread: 1-3’
Bloom Time: July-September
Bloom Color: cream-yellow
Sun: light shade-partial sun
Water: moist-medium

IMPORTANT UPDATE
Wild Northeast Ohio will not be coordinating the Pollinator Tent at the Ohio Pawpaw Festival this year.
Sadly, this means we will not be there to host our signature activities, including the March of the Butterflies, our raffle, festival buttons, butterfly wands, arts and crafts, and free publications and posters. We had just secured some rare wild orchid, monarch pathways and other limited posters to hand out.
We are truly disappointed that we won’t be able to share this special part of the festival with you this year. The Ohio Pawpaw Festival has been a meaningful event for Wild Northeast Ohio, and we are grateful to everyone who has participated in our activities, supported our organization, and helped make the festival so special.
We look forward to sharing more opportunities to connect with Wild Northeast Ohio in the future. 🦋🌿

This article brings me hope and joy that things may not be as bad as they sometimes seem. 💕🐦‍⬛🦋

Humming bird moths have frequented our home yard for years. I would also add that the surrounding area of Lodi, West Salem and Spenser all report seeing these moths en mass.

Native plants have grown in their respective regions long before European settlement. So, they’ve had plenty of time to adapt to Ohio’s cold winters, rainy springs, and HOT, dry summers. Once established in your garden bed, they’ll take care of themselves (as long as you’ve planted them in appropriate conditions). This means you won’t need to spend extra time watering them or removing them every fall to replant in the spring.
