Plants That Attract Me The Most

~ By Lady Kat ~

The plants that attract me the most are perennials with vibrant colors and have wonderful scents.

I am also attracted to plants which "attract" butterflies and humming birds. I had planted an annual one year and for the life of me can't remember the name of it, but I loved it because it attracted a huge number of hummingbirds. I just love these little birds! I can sit all day and just watch them flitting from flower to flower. The funny thing is, I have hummingbird feeders and the birds don't touch them! *L*

For shade plants the ones that I love the most are Hostas. I have 6 different varieties in various shade/partial shade beds and I love them for their uniqueness. The one I love the most is the Patriot Hosta. It looks like it has a maple leaf in the centre. This is great because I love my country! (Canada)

Ground cover I don't have a lot of. I have a few perennials that cover the front part of the bricks in my plant beds. They are a lovely variegated green and cream color.

For ornamental, I have 4 types of ornamental grasses which are also perennials and they are planted around my water pond along with ferns which grow enormous each year
