What the Flock is Blooming This Week? 🐑🌸
MVP STATUS: JULY 12 - 18
🐝 Bees are clocking overtime. 🦋 Butterflies are cancelling other plans. And your garden? It’s about to become the busiest address in the neighbourhood. These MVPs are 25% off this week only.
Some plants politely attract pollinators. Agastache sends out group texts. Bees show up. Butterflies show up. Hummingbirds somehow hear about it too. Those fragrant purple flower spikes keep the buffet open for months, while the rest of your garden wonders how one perennial became the most popular restaurant in town.
💜 Clematis ‘Stand by Me Lavender’
Most clematis spend their lives begging for a fence. Stand by Me Lavender looked at the trellis, laughed, and said, “I’m good.” It stands proudly all on its own, covered in soft lavender blooms that look like they’re floating above the garden. Independent, beautiful, and just a little smug about it.
🧡 Hemerocallis ‘Everydaylily Orange’
This daylily wakes up every morning like it’s had three coffees and absolutely fantastic news. Bright orange blooms just keep appearing, one after another, filling the garden with enough energy to make everything around it look like it’s still hitting the snooze button.
🌞 Hemerocallis ‘Big Time Happy’
If sunshine could grow leaves, this would be it. Big Time Happy throws out enormous golden blooms with the confidence of someone who has never once doubted themselves. Rain? Heat? Doesn’t matter. This plant shows up smiling every single day, and honestly, it’s contagious.
Some plants get dressed up for special occasions. Blue Jean Baby somehow looks effortlessly cool every single day. Clouds of lavender blue flowers dance above silvery stems all summer, bringing bees by the dozen while pretending it didn’t even try that hard.
When Millenium starts blooming, every bee within five postal codes gets the invitation. Those perfectly round purple flower heads become standing room only from morning until sunset. If pollinators handed out restaurant reviews, this place would have a waiting list.
💗 Liatris ‘Kobold’
Most flowers know which way is up. Kobold decided to bloom from the top down just to keep everyone guessing. Bright purple flower spikes rise above the garden like little fireworks, giving butterflies a landing strip they simply can’t ignore.
Every garden has that one plant that never loses its composure. Wind blowing sideways? Thunderstorm? Everybody flopping over? Northwind is still standing there perfectly straight like it’s guarding Buckingham Palace. Calm. Confident. Unbothered.
🍓 Achillea ‘Strawberry Seduction’
Some flowers whisper. Strawberry Seduction walks into the garden wearing bright raspberry red and sunshine yellow like it owns the runway. Butterflies can’t stay away, bees keep coming back, and suddenly your flower bed has a lot more traffic than your driveway.
Most flowers spend their lives trying to look perfect. Freckle Face leaned into the freckles and became unforgettable. Every orange bloom is splashed with deep red spots, making each flower look hand painted. It’s quirky, bold, and impossible to walk past without smiling.
You won’t notice the first few flowers. Then suddenly it looks like someone sprinkled tiny white stars across the entire plant. Bees absolutely adore it, the blooms just keep coming, and before you know it, White Cloud has quietly stolen the show without making a big fuss about it.
