If you’re searching for a plant that adds a bold pop of colour and attracts pollinators, look no further than Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis). Known for its vibrant scarlet-red blooms, this North American native is a showstopper in any garden, especially in late summer when many other perennials begin to fade. Cardinal flowers thrive in moist, rich soil and are particularly well-suited for wet areas like stream banks, ponds, or rain gardens. They can also tolerate partial shade, making them versatile for different garden spots. Standing tall on spikes that can reach 2-4 feet, the brilliant red flowers are a beacon for hummingbirds and butterflies, ensuring your garden is buzzing with life. Though short-lived, Cardinal Flowers readily self-seed, ensuring a steady population of these bright beauties in your landscape for years to come. With their tall, striking form and ability to attract pollinators, they make a fantastic addition to native gardens, wetland restorations, or any space in need of a splash of colour. If you want a plant that combines beauty, pollinator appeal, and ecological value, Cardinal Flower is a perfect choice. Just make sure to keep it well-watered, and it will reward you with its brilliant display every year! ❤️🌿 #CardinalFlower #PollinatorGarden #NativePlants #WildlifeFriendly #Hummingbirds #PerennialGardening #WetlandGarden

12 Low-Maintenance Landscape Tips & Tricks by Ken Lain, the mountain gardener Rock Gardens use drought-resistant plants that need little care. The rocks themselves are decor that never needs water or tending. Stones help keep weeds down while having a natural visual appeal. Ensure your plants are companions and like the same water and sun needs. That way, you won't have to worry about providing individualized plant care. Trees significantly impact landscapes, providing essential focal points and shade. Some trees are better than others when minimizing maintenance. Look for trees that don't drop messy seeds or fruit. Reducing time cleaning up and preventing seedlings from growing in unwanted places. Consider dwarf trees like Purple Leaf Plum or Redbud, especially if the yard is small.

If we are to be trusted to restore nature across some of the largest estates and landscapes in the country, it seems sensible to practice at a much smaller scale. For the past four years, CEO Benedict Macdonald has been transforming a bland lawn at his home into a complex food web of anthills, wildflowers, nesting scrub and wetland. By restoring inch by inch, you develop a real understanding of how to transform land from the bottom up. Benedict’s top tips include: 1) Use rocks to soak up the sun and create the perfect conditions for yellow meadow anthills to form underneath. The meadow ants will then harvest your lawn, creating more spaces for wildflowers. 2) Sow once and well with wildflower seed mix. Before you do, “rootle” your lawn with a trowel to create uneven areas and patches of bare earth. Scarify your lawn to put dominant grasses on the back foot. Sow both wildflowers and wild grasses, which create structural complexity. 3) Establish the widest array of vegetation heights possible, from bare earth to tall flowers such as foxglove to hawthorn, bramble, wild apple and dog rose. This creates the most complexity possible in a small space. 4) Sit back and let the food chain build. Ragwort may often be found by cinnabar moths; lady’s bedstraw by lesser elephant hawk moths. And it’s amazing what can find your garden. Benedict’s garden has since been colonised by glow worms, burnet moths, rose chafer beetles and hawthorn bee-flies - right on the edge of Bristol! #restorenature #naturerestoration #nature #environment #wildlifegardening #gardening #naturefriendly
