Whether you life in an apartment building with a tiny porch, you own your own house with an incredible yard, or you’d just like a few perky petals brightening your windowsill, Michigan wildflowers may be just what you are looking for. Some bright yellow birdsfoot trefoil, common in Michigan fields and roadsides, is sure to enliven any space with its splash of color. Gorgeous black-eyed Susans, with their coned centers and thick stems, are both sturdy and cheerful, as well as completely low-maintenance. Not only will catnip add a lovely scent to your home or garden; it will also drive your cats wild if you have them!

The purple flowers of the hairy willow herb might be more of what you are looking for, with their pale pastel beauty and aptly-named leaves. The flowers are known to grow in waste areas, making them perfect for people who have little or no time to garden to begin with. Some lovely queen Anne’s lace might be well-suited for such gardeners as well; it’s also a lovely addition to bouquets and gifts when you pick garden flowers to give to a parent or loved one.
