Bonesets are also renowned as favorite nectar plants for monarch butterflies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the garden, common boneset spreads via short rhizomes to form a tight colony of plants that develop flat-topped clusters of white flowers. It creates a tidy white patch and makes a fine complement to grass-leaved goldenrod and tall ironweed. It can spread aggressively via seed, so it may be a good idea to cut off the faded flowers before the seed develops. A well mulched garden bed will also discourage seed germination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to NE Ohio wet meadows and the margins of water bodies, common boneset thrives in sunny, damp places, and can handle brief periods of standing water. The plant will tolerate light shade and will also do well in soils of moderate moisture, which is the typical condition of most yards. During summer dry spells, common boneset may need some supplemental watering, and if the plant gets too dry, its leaves may brown.

When planted with grey-headed coneflower, common yarrow, wild bergamot, black-eyed Susan, and purple coneflower, nodding wild onion is part of a knockout midsummer show. The plant is also a pollinator favorite, attracting beetles, hover flies, and a variety of short and long-tongued bees. As an added bonus, nodding wild onion is highly resistant to deer and rabbit herbivory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto by \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ashleykeesling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAshley Keesling\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meadow City","offers":[{"title":"4 inch pot","offer_id":43199412535449,"sku":"ALLCER_4","price":7.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gallon pot","offer_id":43199412568217,"sku":"ALLCER_G","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/1075\/5225\/files\/Allium_cernuum_Dave_Lage.png?v=1744748929"},{"product_id":"oenothera-fruticosa","title":"Oenothera fruticosa","description":"\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin: 12.0pt 0in 12.0pt 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;\" lang=\"EN\"\u003eSundrops’ light-yellow blooms have a mellow, easygoing beauty that takes the start of summer in stride. Unlike some other members of the evening primrose family, sundrops keeps its flowers open throughout the day. The blooming period is fairly early, peaking in June, and lasting for one to two months. The plant is recognized by the Xerces Society for providing special value to native bees, and researchers have noted that bees account for 83% of pollinator visits to the plant, and flies, the other 17%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin: 12.0pt 0in 12.0pt 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;\" lang=\"EN\"\u003eA plant of the meadow, sundrops grows best in average to moderately dry soil and in full sun.

The plant is not aggressive, but it commonly spreads via self-seeding. Gardeners should remove the seed capsules before they mature if spreading is not desired. For a lovely show of color early in the growing season, plant sundrops with smooth penstemon, Ohio spiderwort, common yarrow, and black-eyed Susan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto 1 by \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/25583457\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFrederick Nunley\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e CC BY 4.0\u003c\/a\u003e.
