While we specialize in growing and hybridizing daylilies, we also propagate and grow many other amazing perennials on our farm. Since propagation and growth rates vary, below we've listed selections we are sure will be available this season. We will likely add numbers and/or varieties as we see that plants are maturing.
The selections below do not represent our full inventory. Come to the Blacksburg Farmers Market to see these, plus other unique cultivars that may not be represented here. :)
My name is Astilbe - I am a spring bloomer adored by butterflies and bees! A gazillion (not the actual number LOL) tiny flowers make up my enchanting feathery plumes. My foliage is delicate and fern-like....nature's own lace. But don't let my delicate look fool you; I am very hardy! I come in various shades of white, pink, and red. I like part shade and do best with some dappled sun during part of the day. Number available: 5
My name is - Echinacea (Coneflower) - My radiant blooms are irresistible to pollinators and human flower lovers as well! :) Just seeing my vibrant petals in shades of cream, yellow, orange, red and pink/purple, can instantly brighten your mood. If you give me full sun, I require little care. I tolerate heat, drought, poor soils and cold winters. My bloom time is mid summer to fall. In the fall, birds love my cone-shaped flower heads and will feast on the seeds. Number available: 4
My name is Leucanthemum (Shasta Daisy) - Not to brag or anything, but I am like sunshine in floral form! My flowers radiate positivity with their dazzling white petals and golden-yellow centers. I bet you can't gaze at my blooms without smiling! I am a sun-loving plant that is incredibly versatile, and can adapt and thrive in many conditions. My nectar-rich blooms provide a valuable food source for pollinators. Number available: 2
My name is Columbine - “Kirigami” - I am one of the true delights of spring, adding a touch of "fairyland" to the garden! My unique blooms have curving spurs that hold nectar that can nourish hummingbirds, bees, and moths early in the season when few other flowers are blooming. Watching a hummingbird navigate the "tail fins" is the best free entertainment you’ll get this year! :) Despite my delicate appearance, I am a low maintenance plant. Once I bloom, my foliage will die back a little, but I will happily return next season! Number available: 10; colors vary
My name is Ostrich Fern - Native to North America, I’ve been gracing forests and gardens for centuries, my timeless beauty captivating generations of nature lovers! I grow tall and majestic, eventually reaching 3-5 feet in height. Elaine isn't a tall girl at 5 feet 2 inches. But you can see in the picture I am almost as tall as she is! am incredibly hardy, and naturalize easily but not in a way that's invasive. I thrive in shade and in dappled sun. Number available: 6
My name is Yarrow - I am a wonderful native plant, with fern-like foliage forming a dense mound of greenery, a lush backdrop for my clusters of flowers. Each of my blooms is a tiny masterpiece, attracting bees and butterflies and other beneficial insects. I am drought tolerant and require low maintenance. I’m also a versatile herb with a long history of medical and culinary uses. In fact, fossils of yarrow pollen have even been found in Neanderthal burial caves! Number available: 10; colors vary
My name is Monarda - aka “Bee Balm” - I’m a charismatic native plant with a unique "spiky hair" bloom that brings an air of whimsy and fun. I’m also a pollinator magnet! Our fuzzy friends absolutely cannot resist me (hence my nickname) but I also attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Also, if you leave my seed heads on in winter, birds will feast on them. I am a compact variety, but after I’m planted, I like to spread a little bit, so please give me just a bit of room. You will love having my raucous beauty in the garden Number available: 10
My name is Sedum “Autumn Joy” - Okay….imagine it's August.....most plants are looking spent or have finished blooming altogether. But not me! I’m just getting cranked up! My sun-loving foliage stands out in the garden all spring and summer long, a pretty jade-green. But starting in late-summer into fall, I will regale you with beautiful rosy-pink clusters of blooms that deepen in color as the season progresses, and become a hub for pollinators. What's not to love? :) Number available: 3
Scabiosa - “Pincushion Flower” - Yes, it’s as cute as it sounds! Soft ruffled petals are gathered around a domed, button-like center, like nature’s own sewing project for bees, butterflies, and gardeners. :) But don’t let its dainty looks fool you — this plant has serious historical street cred. The name Scabiosa comes from the Latin scabies. In medieval times it was used to treat skin ailments like... you guessed it… scabies, and other itchy problems. With deadheading, these flowers can bloom from spring to frost. They may slow down in the heat of summer, but will come back strong when the weather cools. Number available: 1
Hybrid Daylilies - Beautiful, diverse, prolific, and resilient...not to brag but we are simply amazing! Non-invasive (unlike inferior predecessors that pre-date hybrid types), our clump grows larger every year but never becomes aggressive. We come in a dazzling array of colors, shapes, and sizes. Blacksnake Farm has a full selection, so much so that daylilies have their own page! Click here to see the available varieties for 2026. Total number available: 20+
We will be updating and adding to this page as our perennials continue to mature this season!
