Late summer in North Carolina offers a vibrant display of native wildflowers. These late-season perennials provide essential resources for wildlife and enhance the beauty of the region. Here are some of the native wildflowers to watch for:
Cardinal Flowers: With bright red blooms reaching 4 to 5 feet in height, cardinal flowers require consistently moist soil. They attract hummingbirds and butterflies and thrive in various settings, including woodland areas and meadows.
Yellow Ironweed: Found in the Piedmont and mountainous regions, yellow ironweed’s vibrant daisy-like flowers attract bees and serve as larval hosts for various species. They bloom from July to October.
Evening Primrose: This night-blooming species is drought-tolerant. It attracts night-flying moths and bees, and its seeds are a food source for birds.
Goldenrod: Adaptable and resilient, goldenrod’s bright yellow blooms are a pollinator magnet.
Joe Pye Weed: Known for its fragrant pinkish-to-purple flowers, Joe Pye weed attracts butterflies and bees. It thrives in moist environments and makes a substantial presence in gardens.
These native wildflowers not only offer late-season beauty but also contribute to local biodiversity by supporting pollinators and wildlife.
