In very early July I posted a comment on Hometalk that in honor of the holidays gardeners could consider planting ‘Fireworks’ goldenrod, ‘Sparkler’ cleome, ‘Bottle Rocket’ ligularia and ‘Roman Candle’ tomato.

Other experts quickly chimed in, adding ‘Fireworks’ pennisetum, ‘Route 66’ coreopsis. ‘Patriot’ hosta and firecracker plant.

If you have a patriotic plant, email me and I’ll add it to the list.
