Plant an old fashioned garden







I thought I would list some plants that have been around a long time and make a great old fashioned garden.



I try to use plants rather than seeds but seeds are fine- I just don't like the wait!



Taller plants are Bachelor Buttons, Columbines,Echinacea, BlackEyed Susan's,



Herbs- Lavender,Mint - there are all types of these- Lemon, Chocolate ( yes Chocolate),



Orange - the varities are endless, Sage, Sweet Annie to name a few. A Plant called Snow on the Mountain is a tall growing plant that is good for adding white among your colored blooms!



Some lower growing plants are perennial Geraniums, Dianthus, Creeping Thyme.



Some annuals that are lower growing and are good for borders- petunias, marigolds,Moss Rose ( Portulaca).

Pictured are Moss Rose, Black Eyed Susan's and, purple Columbines.
