Black-Eyed Susans and Perennials Available in the Nursery

The Black-Eyed Susans are absolutely stunning this year! This is ‘American Gold Rush’ Black Eyed Susan and makes a fantastic addition to a pollinator garden, wildflower meadow, or mixed border. ‘American Gold Rush’ gives all the rich color of classic Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia), with none of the disease issues. This hybrid is specifically bred to be resistant to Septoria leaf spot. ‘American Gold Rush’ is more compact, with foliage that is slightly narrower than the well-known ‘Goldsturm’.

Our Selection of Birdbaths Will Enhance Your Garden

It’s so important during this lengthy dry spell to keep not only our plants watered but what about our feathered friends? 🐦‍⬛ Birds need fresh, clean water for drinking and bathing. Most birds drink water every day. They also enjoy bathing to clean their plumage and remove parasites. Providing water improves habitat for birds and other animals, and increases your chances of observing their behaviors up close! You can attract more birds to your balcony, roof patio, or yard by including a birdbath, and few things are more attractive to them than a clean, well-maintained one.
 
We have a nice selection of colorful birdbaths in various sizes and price points. Choose a color that will enhance your garden or landscape. A colorful birdbath can be a focal point in a sea of green foliage. Just remember to keep your birdbath clean and filled with fresh water on a daily basis. Then sit back and watch the antics of our backyard birds!
