Sam Hoadley, the Manager of Horticultural Research at Mt. Cuba Center
Explore native plant species and cultivars from Mt. Cuba’s trials that make beautiful and ecologically valuable additions to your garden. Take a deep dive into the insect and pollinator observations from the concluded evaluations of Monarda, Phlox, Echinacea, wild hydrangea, Vernonia, and Solidago and get a preview of the pollinator data from ongoing trials including oakleaf hydrangeas and Pycnanthemum. In addition, get a sneak peek at the Asclepias trial which is being evaluated for both pollinator value and its capacity as a larval host plant for monarch caterpillars.
