Black Cohosh is a tall beauty of cool, rich woods throughout all of eastern North America. In mid summer, regal spires of white flowers arch above clumps of coarsely toothes leaves that resemble giant ferns. The effect is stately and cooling because, by definition, Black Cohosh only grows in nice cool places with good rich soil. Pair it up with a broad leaved shrub like Spreading Hydrangea and some shorter ferns, and you're all set to relax in the shade. Cat# 1542 -more info-

| Japanese Cobra Lily |
Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
This Cobra Lily is a tall and vigorous cousin of our Jack in the Pulpit. Its native habitat is in moist, cool forests in Japan. The flower is composed of a black spadix or Jack surrounded by a pitcher that is dark purple/black on the outside and white and black striped on the inside. Single flower stalks come up in early spring with a pair of 5-lobed mottled green leaves reaching about 3 to 4 feet tall. A mature plant is very impressive. If you are lucky and the flowers were pollinated (you need at least 2 plants), you may see bright red berried fruits in late summer.
Japanese Cobra Lily wants partial to full shade and moderate to moist soil during the growing season. Excessive winter moisture is death to these plants. So be sure they are in a site that is well-drained!
It is truly a gem for the shaded garden. These plants may come potted or bare root depending on their stage of growth but they are of blooming age. They are shipped only when NOT actively growing. Generally this means no shipping between April first and August. Cat# 1561 -more info-

| Pawpaw |
Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
|
|
|
Pawpaw is native to eastern North America where it grows on slopes in the understory of mixed hardwood forests. In the wild it forms coppices or groves of suckers (the Pawpaw patch), but in cultivation, it will form a small tree to 25 feet. It has drooping tropical looking leaves that turn brown or yellow before falling off in the fall. Flowers are small and maroon in mid-spring and if pollinated, form the largest edible fruit of any North American native plant - 3-6 inch long, green, sausage-looking clusters, which ripen in early fall. The fruits are delicious, sort of a combination of banana and pineapple and they can be used like bananas in cooking. Pawpaw muffins are delicious! However, it takes 2 different clones (plants from 2 different sources) for fruit set. Our plants are from multiple clones. Grow this tree in partial shade and average soil. Cat# 1529 -more info-

Yellowwood is a very attractive medium to large tree for a prime spot in the landscape. It gets 30-45 feet tall and wide, has smooth gray bark, and has the most beautiful, fragrant clusters of creamy white, wisteria-like flowers in the spring. Flowering can be so abundant that the fallen flowers look like snow on the ground. Yellowwood likes alkaline soil that is well drained and of average fertility. It wants full sun. A tree in flower is absolutely breathtaking. Cat# 1530 -more info-

| Bulblet Bladder Fern |
Zones: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
|
|
|
This delicate fern is given its name because of the curious bulblets that form on the undersides of the fronds. The bulblets begin as microscopic dots eventually growing to _ inch by which time they have formed delicate young leaves. The slightest movement of the parent frond will scatter the little bulblets on the ground where they will grow into adult fern plants. A single mature frond of 3 or more feet may bear more than 50 bulblets so this is quite an effective way to increase the fern's numbers. Grow the Bulblet Bladder Fern in a shaded spot with rich, moist soil (and possibly some limey rocks), and it will form a carpet of bright green. Cat# 1531 -more info-

Flowering is often followed by a good display of bright red berries in the fall.
Fairybells can make a nice textural addition to your shade garden. Its fine,complex pattern would look good with broad leaved wildflowers.; Cat# 1499 -more info-

Consider Aphrodite to be a pink flowering Shooting Star on steroids. Clusters of intense violet pink flowers, which smell faintly of grape juice, atop 20" tall stalks, in mid to late spring. Leafy rosettes are about 15" tall and a 20" wide. Flowering lasts for several weeks, then gradually the leaves yellow and the plant goes dormant until the next spring.;Shooting Stars like partial shade but will tolerate more or less, and moist but well drained slightly alkaline soil. They like moisture in the spring while in active growth and then drier conditions during the summer and fall. Too much moisture then, and they will rot. Although a little slow to get to any size, once established Shooting Stars are long-lived and will naturalize freely. In masses, they are stunning. Try them with Stonecrop, Devils Bit, blue wood sedge, Eared Coreopsis, or Columbine. Cat# 1559 -more info-

The 4 inch wide flowers are lemon yellow when they open, brightening to light butter yellow and finally to creamy white as they mature. An extra row of ray petals gives the flowers a fuller appearance than truly single varieties. Since it produces flower buds at each axillary shoot, 'Banana Cream' blooms prolifically all summer long atop strong, upright stems. Keep plants deadheaded for the longest bloom period.
Plant in full sun and average soil. Topping out at only 18", it would be perfect in the front of the border. Cat# 1556 -more info-

Canada Lily is a spectacular wildflower of open moist areas, wet meadows, and bogs of the southeastern mountains. The three inch flowers are yellow-orange, dark spotted, and have widely flared petals. Up to 9 or 10 nodding flowers may be present on the 6 foot stalks of whorled leaves in June and July. This beautiful display comes from the lily bulb which looks like a fleshy white artichoke. Mature bulbs often send out daughter bulbs on thick runners which in time may result in colonies of Canada Lilies. This lily is a little difficult and slow to get started, and it may take years to reach flowering size. The plants do need specific cultural conditions to thrive. Give it good rich, moisture-retentive soil and mostly sun. A little protection from winds (or support) might prevent a stormy blow over. Try it with Summersweet, Bee Balm, or Wild Ageratum.

Coral Honeysuckle is a woody vine native to open woods throughout eastern North America. It has long been popular for adorning mailboxes, lamp posts, fences, and trellises. Masses of flowers appear in clusters from spring through July or August then sporadically thereafter. ;;'Major Wheeler' has clusters of deep scarlet red, 2" long, tubular flowers with yellow insides. Big red berries persist in fall and early winter. It is loaded with flowers from late spring on into the fall. And it is highly mildew resistant, the semi-evergreen leaves looking good all season long.
Coral Honeysuckle is best in full sun and average soil, but would also do well in light shade. This vine is sure to attract hummingbirds and your neighbor's attention. In flower, it is extremely showy. Don't confuse this with the aggressive and obnoxious Japanese Honeysuckle vine. Coral Honeysuckle is very choice, and is not overly aggressive. Cat# 1549 -more info-

With a native range in NE North America and a few sites in Kentucky and Tennessee, Eastern Sand Cherry can be found on sandy, rocky soils, cliff faces, and other difficult exposed sites. It has deep roots, so once established, it is a keeper. This variety, Catskill, is a ground hugging, many branched shrub with 3 inch, pointed leaves that stand straight up in bunches along the dark, thick, creeping branches. It forms dense mats that are effective for erosion control or for stream bank restoration. Masses of showy, white, 5-petaled flowers like apple flowers appear in mid-to late-spring and are followed by blackish purple berries in late summer. Leaves fall off in the fall revealing the dense, thick, ground covering branches. This is a workhorse of a shrub for difficult places. Cat# 1532 -more info-

In leaner soils, it is milder mannered. Pair with beautyberry, boltonia, or 'Raydon's Favorite' aster. You will love this plant! Cat# 1543 -more info-

It's leaves turn burgundy in the fall. This is a lovely grass for a dry, sunny place. It does not like moist or fertile soil so pair it up with other tough, drought tolerant plants like coneflowers, asters, and black-eyed Susans. Cat# 1544 -more info-
