Something about the combination of these plants (coneflower, false sunflower, mountain mint, anise hyssop, and sweet pepper bush) has made this picket a hot spot for flying insects, especially at a time in summer when many other flowers have dried up.

I’m enjoying this corner of the garden especially right now for its early summer pop of color.
I planted the anise hyssop (purple) and the mountain mint (silver/green) as plants from a nursery, but the echinacea grew from seed and has been prolific. I am amazed by how well it’s done considering my neglect – I honestly don’t even remember when I planted it.
