Last week Billy talked about Monarda âWestacre Purple.â Weâre back this week with a closer look.
#stottsnursery #plantnursery #plants #monarda #monardawestacrepurple
Itâs striking, somewhat shaggy flowers are made of a host of individual tubular petals.
The petals unfurl in a staggered fashion, beginning at the centre and moving outward creating its spiky, domed flowers.
A Monardaâs flowers are very attractive and rich in nectar – attracting bees and earning it its common name, Bee Balm.
Spot the critter!
Campanula lactiflora âPrichardâs Varietyâ
Commonly known as Bellflowers, Campanulas take their name from the Latin for âlittle bell.â This variety boasts lovely violet-blue, bell shaped flowers atop vibrant green, leafy stems. It will thrive in full sun or partial shade.

A plant with lovely deep purple flowers, it grows to two or three feet tall and likes a bit of moisture to the soil.
It will go on flowering for a while and the bees love it!

Billy waters at the nursery on Sunday morning – before the full heat of the day when the sun can scorch any wet leaves.
Each pot gets watered individually to make sure that all of the plants get just what they need and theyâre in the best shape for our customers.

Earlier this week we shared a video of Billy talking about the lovely Gillenia trifoliata. A perennial that is both delicate and robust.
Weâre back with another look at its mass of thin, red stems and narrow-petalled, star-like, white flowers.
Its scientific epithet, trifoliata, comes from its leaf structure. Three leaves arise from a single stalk – it is trifoliate.

At the nursery with Billy and Gillenia trifoliata.
A plant with red stems and light flowers that dance on the breeze. It likes a bit of moisture in the soil and light shade so that it doesnât get scorched by the midday sun.
