Robin Miller Cresci on Aug 16, 2014The third flower is a little hard to see the foliage. It is either a Salvia or a Linaria? It could also be a flowering mint. I have some that flowers similarly.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Aug 17, 2014Robin nailed the plants. I'm not sure the verbena would be winter-hardy in Minnesota. The milkweed is the cultivar "Hellow Yellow" I believe, and should be hardy to zone 4.Helpful Reply

Robin Miller Cresci on Aug 17, 2014Not sure about the Milkweed, but the other two are perennials. The Verbena would need lots and lots of mulching to over winter where you are. Have fun!!Helpful Reply
