That' is quite a spread. Banquet! Thumbs up

I've allowed common milkweed to spread for over 15 years in my one flowerbed. This winter we had a garage built, and I decided to leave a 3-4 foot wide bed along the south wall of garage for major milkweed and other bee/BF plants.
Asclepias syriaca
A curassavica
Salvia guarantica Black and blue
Sunflower
Ruellia brittoniana (if it came back)
Lantana
Fennel, bronze
Pentas, red
Butterfly bush
Goldenrod, native volunteer

I think that covers it. Phew. It's pretty crammed and I'll have to rememeber watering if we have any dry spells.
Plant it and they will come.
