Angely here, it's Tuesday night, and this is the perfect time to talk native plants. ๐ต
Out of all of the topics, fast-growing native plants is my all-time favorite to discuss. These were the "gateway" plants that got me excited about pollinator gardens. ๐
Growing from seed can take up to 3 years with natives before you see blooms and I don't have that kind of patience (or any, really). Annuals and fast-growing natives give new gardeners that instant satisfaction and new ๐ฆ visitors that makes you want to KEEP GROWING!
