**ECHINACEAS**
Nothing says 'Happy' like a coneflower covered in butterflies and bees. Echinaceas are easy and bloom for a really long time and they make great cut flowers. I find that the 'Sombrero' series some of the most reliable of the red/orange/yellow varieties.
Deadheading promotes more bloom and I prefer to leave the final bloom go to seed for the birds.

**GERANIUM (Cranesbill)**
Perennial Geraniums are very popular in the Midwest but I feel underutilized here in the Northeast.
They are incredibly rugged. Will take full sun or part shade. Beautiful foliage and the leaves of many varieties will be tinged or turn red in the fall. 'Bevan's Variety', 'Karmina' and 'Max Frei' have a spreading habit and make a nice groundcover. I frequently recommend 'Beven's Variety' for use on hillsides.
Added bonus, they are deer resistant!
