From that time on, gardeners seemed to agree with horticulturist Karl Foerster that "a garden without a phlox is a mistake."

This nitrogen-fixing legume comes from the Crotalaria genus, a family of more than 600 species of mostly tropical plants known as rattlepods. The genus name "Crotalaria" comes from a Greek word meaning "castanet," in reference to the rattling seeds in the dried pods. This plant's species name of "sagittalis" comes from the Latin word for arrowhead, because of the pointed shape of the smaller leaves. Its unusual seed pods give it ornamental value as well as its practical function of building the soil; however, it can be dangerous to grazing animals because of its toxicity.Starting at $2.50 USD -

Native to Southern Europe, yarrow has been a traditional part of herb gardens for hundreds of years because of its fragrant foliage, medicinal uses, and cheerful, long lasting flowers.

Linnaeus named it for Greek general Achilles, who according to legend received yarrow as a gift from the gods - the general's soldiers used yarrow to stanch the flow of their blood in the battlefields of the Trojan War. In the early days of the American prairies, Native American tribes such as the Pawnee, Cherokee, and Chippewa used common yarrow to relieve pain and headaches, reduce fever, and induce sleep. Cosmetic preparations sometimes include yarrow because of its cleansing, refreshing effect. When taken internally as a tea, yarrow purifies the system and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
