Together, these plants will support a large variety of native bees, butterflies and moths. Birds will be attracted by the prospect of larvae to feed their nestlings and seasonal seeds. The plants in this kit are all deer-resistant. Hummingbirds will enjoy Blue Lobelia and Columbine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit features five different flowering shade plants of various colors and heights. The plants offer a range of bloom times from April to October, so there will be something popping from spring through fall. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign and Planting Tips:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prairienursery.com\/resources-guides\/quick-guide-preparing-planting-your-plant-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePrepare your garden site\u003c\/a\u003e (follow the link for details as well as information about plant spacing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA location with full to partial shade and moderate soil moisture is ideal for this grouping\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroup plants of the same species together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider the height of each plant.
