Plants for shadier locations and
those that need more water.
Note that you can create habitat for such species and cluster them with water-loving trees. All can be watered with grey water.
• Licorice Mint (Agastache rupestris). Flowers attract painted lady and other butterflies and hummingbirds. Flowering is from late summer to fall.
• Golden Columbine (Aquilegia chrysantha). Hummingbirds and large lovely moths come to yellow flowers, day and night. A late-spring bloomer, it sometimes has a second bloom in late-summer to fall. Do not select other Columbines that are typically available at nurseries; they do poorly here. This species is native and vigorous. They will reseed plants in some areas.
• Bee Balm or Monarda, (Monarda menthaefolia and other species M. citriodora, M. fistuolosa, M. pectinta).
