Dry Sun Habitat Pack Concept Sketch
Our landscape designer Elise Lintelman created this sketch to inspire you in planting your habitat pack starter garden. Although the plants in each pack will vary according to nursery availability, you can use this sketch to help you think about where you might plant each species in a new, rounded garden bed of your choice. Check your plant labels to see which plants will become tall and which will remain shorter. Note that this design places some shorter plants in the center to fill in the spaces between taller bouquets of native flowers.
Bear in mind that the native plants will move around over the years as new seeds plant themselves in your living landscape. Start with your new pack of native plants and watch the changing drama unfold year after year!
Dry Sun species illustrated in this sketch include: Symphyotrichum oblongifolium (Aromatic Aster), Allium cernuum (Nodding Onion), Eragrostis spectabilis (Purple Lovegrass), Monarda fistulosa (Wild Bergamot), Liatris spicata (Dense Blazing Star), Rudbeckia fulgida (Black-eyed Susan), and Baptisia australis ( Blue Wild Indigo).
The Natural Garden provide this garden design sketch for your inspiration and delight! Please consider purchasing a habitat pack or other plants from us to support our further development of such resources for our native plant community!
