Pile O'
One genus at a time, obsessively cataloged. Not reviews — references. The kind of thing you pull up on your phone at the garden center when the tag says almost nothing.
Echinacea
Echinacea
Every cultivar we could find. Obsessively cataloged.
Monarda
Monarda
Bee balms, bergamots, and the mint-family drama that comes with them.
Coreopsis
Coreopsis
The tickseeds. Prairie daisies that laugh at drought and bloom like they have something to prove. Yellow, red, pink, bicolor — pick a lane or don't, there's a pile of them.
Agastache
Agastache
The hummingbird mints. Crush a leaf, smell licorice, watch a hummingbird lose its mind. Spiky, fragrant, unkillable in sun and dry soil. What's not to love?
What's a Pile O'?
A deep-dive database on a single plant genus. Every species and cultivar we can find, with real measurements, honest assessments, and the information the tag should have included but didn't. Not a review — a reference.
Each Pile O' is the kind of resource you bookmark and come back to every spring — the thing you pull up at the garden center when you're staring at a plant labeled "Echinacea" with no cultivar name, no height, and a photo that could be any of forty different plants. We're building what the tags won't tell you.
