Our fleabane is a troublesome weed at times, but good husbandry has little to dread from it. |
Interesting flora includes purple devil's bit scabious and lilac field scabious, the yellow daisy-like common fleabane and the tall, cream-flowered meadow sweet. |
Among the wildflowers are a red columbine, aster, figwort, wild sarsaparilla, fleabane, and avens. |
Some species overwinter near the roots of weeds such as stickweed, plantain, and fleabane. |
Asters, butterfly weed, Coreopsis, fleabane, Jupiter's-beard, Lantana, lavender, Sedum, verbena, and yarrow all thrive on dry, sunny sites. |
The adults nectar from flowers including fogfruit, salt marsh fleabane, blue mistflower, thistle, verbena, red clover, and sweet pepperbush. |
