In my garden about 50 plants for the last 5 years.
This is my plan: use a tube used for concrete filling.. put that over the stem and fill the tube with hay. Once i stuff the hay in there i want to cover it with two garbage bags and then put mulch around the base.. do you think this seems okay ?

I also am equally fascinated and excited to be growing: Pawpaw cultivars, Echinacea purpurea 'magnus', Asclepias tuberosa Butterfly Weed, Musa basjoo Cold Hardy Banana, Lycium barbarum 'Sweet Lifeberry', Passiflora incarnata 'hardy native maypop'.

Future projects: Indigenous/native host plants for butterflies such as: Zizia aurea Golden Alexanders, Eutrochium maculatum Joe Pye Weed, Asclepias incarnata Rose Milkweed.
