My Phlox Jeanna have been blooming for a while now and have attracted many pollinators just like North Creek notes said...way more than other Phlox. The pic below is Jeanna on the left and Felicity (from Critter) on the right to compare the bloom size.

I have also been enjoying the Calico Aster 'Lady in Black' which stays dark leaved in mostly full sum and has just started blooming

3rd pic is Joe Pye 'Baby Joe' in part shade.

And finally Echinacea 'Cheyenne Spirit' returned from last year (4 out of 7 pots made it thru winter)
