Would you like to incorporate more native plants in your garden or on your farm? Wondering which ones are not only beautiful and beneficial but also make great cut flowers? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss three perennials native to various parts of the United States (Joe Pye Weed, Mountain Mint, and Goldenrod) to consider including in your cutting garden. They describe the plants and cover their value both out in the landscape and as cut flowers, growing tips and tricks, the proper harvest stage, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn how these native beauties can be enjoyed both outdoors and in!
