The Hillsboro Garden Club has made their flower specimen selections for the Highland County Fair in September. Young gardeners planning to exhibit their flower specimens on Wednesday, September 8, will be planting and presenting the recently introduced Denver Daisy, a hardy, late blooming, drought resistant perennial with enormous flowers. Bred from native species, this new twist on Black-eyed Susan sports 6-8 inch blooms with pure yellow petals surrounding a dark red center. It thrives in full sun and attracts butterflies in the summer and birds in the late fall. Seed packets are available from Park Seeds.
