[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of [b]rubedeckia (black eyed susan) and coneflower in the border. Lavender[/b] also does beautifully for me, even in a fairly shady spot that gets a lot of water. I have window boxes that I change out from pansies in winter to annuals for color and cutting. It helps to use a "blooming" fertilizer weekly. I use Fertilome. [/quote] + 1 I have a garden with deers, rabbits and other critters. So I have to be careful about what I plant. I also love attracting birds and butterflies to the garden, having a fragrant garden and a garden heavy on perennials. My annuals are limited to containers on the deck where they have more protection. Coreopsis "moon beam" is a gorgeous perennial that goes well in a landscape with these plants. Very hardy and deers and rabbits leave it alone.[/quote]
