Pet-Friendly Perennials: Beautify Your Garden with Peace of Mind

Bee Balm (Monarda): Known for its vibrant flowers and attractive to pollinators, bee balm is safe for pets and adds a pop of color to your garden.

Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta): With its cheerful yellow flowers and long blooming period, Black-Eyed Susans are a pet-friendly perennial that brings brightness to any garden.

Coneflower (Echinacea): Loved by gardeners for its drought tolerance and pollinator-attracting flowers, Coneflowers are safe for pets and add beauty to your landscape.

Daylily (Hemerocallis): Daylilies aren’t toxic to dogs, but they are toxic to cats. They come in a wide range of colors and shapes, making them a versatile addition.

Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia): This drought-tolerant perennial features airy lavender-blue flowers and silvery foliage that adds texture and interest to the garden while being safe for pets.

Sedum: With their succulent-like leaves and late-season blooms, sedums are a low-maintenance and pet-friendly perennial option for sunny spots in the garden.

These pet-friendly perennials not only add beauty and interest to your garden but also provide a safe environment for your furry friends to enjoy. While other plants in your garden or landscape may not necessarily be harmful to pets, it’s recommended that pets not be left unattended to ensure their safety and well-being.
