|
| Madame Galen Trumpet Creeper |
Zones: 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
|
|
This is a hybrid Trumpet Creeper between Campsis grandiflora and C. radicans. The flowers occur in clusters, are larger and longer than our native Trumpet Creeper, and are a rich salmon red color. This deciduous vine loves summer heat and sun, and is perfect for covering a sturdy trellis. It's flowering is awesome, and of course, hummingbirds love it. Cat# 1437

| Maidenhair Fern |
Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
|
|
|
|
|
Maidenhair Fern has to be the most beautiful of all the eastern native ferns. Fronds (leaves) grow to about 2 feet in height with shiny black stems. The stems fork near the top into 2 semi-circles holding numerous soft green leaflets. The aspect of Maidenhair Fern is delicate and airy. Use it for its wonderful texture. The leaflets flutter in the slightest breeze thus suggesting coolness. Maidenhair Fern needs shade and rich, moist, but well-drained soil. It can take calcareous conditions and spreads moderately by creeping rhizomes. Cat# 1003

| Mapleleaf Viburnum |
Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
|
|
|
|
|
Mapleleaf Viburnum is wide-ranging in eastern North America from Quebec and New Brunswick down to Florida as an understory shrub in acidic woods. Its form is an open, sometimes stoloniferous shrub growing to about 6 feet. Pie-shaped clusters of creamy white flowers appear in spring and are followed by showy blue berries in early fall. The leaves are shaped just like those of red maple and their fall color is equally as beautiful turning pastel pink and rose and salmon, sometimes almost luminescent. The ability of Mapleleaf Viburnum to grow in dry or moist shade and to provide outstanding fall color makes this a truly valuable plant for the shady landscape. Use it in the woods or at the wood's edge where it will blend in unobtrusively until fall when you will suddenly notice its beautiful soft glow. Cat# 1399

Marsh Marigold is a beautiful late spring bloomer for a sunny, moist area. Fifteen inch mounded clumps of bright green, succulent, wavy-edged, rounded leaves produce bright yellow, shiny, 1 inch flowers that look like buttercups, from late spring to early summer. Marsh Marigold needs rich soil that never gets dry. (If soil dries too much in the summer, the plant will go dormant.) It will thrive in a wet sunny area with Blue Flag Iris, Gentians,Turtlehead, and Cardinal Flower. Cat# 1361

|
| Moonbeam Coreopsis |
Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
|
|
Coreopsis 'Moonbeam' is a selected form of the southeastern native C. verticillata which grows in dry, open woods. Two foot clumps are made of very finely dissected foliage giving the plant a delicate, fine texture. Soft yellow daisy-like flowers appear from May to July and can be prolonged by occasionally shearing the spent flowers off. Grow the plant in full sun and average soil. Cut the whole clump to half its height in early May for an even more compact plant. It is neat and tidy and so well behaved that it was chosen to be the Perennial Plant Association's plant of the year for 1992. Cat# 1068

| Mountain Mint |
Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
|
|
|
|
|
If you've ever driven on a country lane and noticed along the road banks, plants that look like their tops have been spray-painted, chances are it's Mountain Mint. Upright stems usually 2 to 4 feet tall are topped with hemispherical flower heads with the same configuration as Bee Balm. Flowers are in dense clusters of white suffused with green and pale pink spots. The white coloring extends down from the flowers including stems and leaves for 6 to 12 inches. Plants really do look like they've been painted. Mountain Mint will grow in full sun or light shade. It takes dry or moist conditions and grows locally on chert and red clay banks. Its leaves and stems are also extremely aromatic. Just watering plants in pots will fill a greenhouse with a fresh herbal-mint fragrance. For that reason you may want to use this plant where you or your pets might brush past it frequently. With its white upper parts on display for the latter third of the growing season, Mountain Mint is a curious plant, something a bit unusual for the woods' edge or border of a natural area. Cat# 1179
