Semi-evergreen. A cute, tufted sedge that would be good for a border or ground cover in a shady garden.

Spreads quickly. Taller plants may need to be staked. "Obedient" because you can move the flowers and they will stay in the new position. Thrives in moist areas.

An understory tree that typically only reaches about 20 feet. One of the first trees to leaf out in the spring; Tracy likes to call them "Truffala trees" because of the shape the leaves make as they are emerging from the bud in early spring.

Great pollinator plant - avoided by most mammals but loved by many insects. Clump-forming mint; less aggressive and less fragrant than many other mints. Basal leaves may be evergreen. Tolerates a wide range of conditions.

Readily self-seeds and looks great in mass. Plant with other plants that have nice summer foliage as the Tradescantia may die back in the heat of summer.

Blooms all summer. Cut back 1/3 to 1/2 of the plant in May to reduce plant height.

Provides food and cover for wildlife. Winter blooms are an exciting find in the forest. May get better seed production with multiple trees.

Similar to P. digitalis but shorter and can take drier conditions. We like the hairy leaves of this species that adds a nice texture to the garden. A great plant to add to your bee or hummingbird garden.

Prefers poor soils and tolerates drought and heat. Goldfinches feed on the seeds and many bees and butterflies prefer this plant for its pollen and nectar. Supports the specialist Mining Bee, Andrena helianthiformis.

A large, upright plant with nice form. Rubbery leaves with dark green tops and pale green undersides alongside a purple stem add a lot of color and texture. Leaves may look wilted during dry heat. Readily selfseeds.

Annual; allow to reseed. Visited by many different insects for the flower pollen, nectaries along the stem, and foliage; loved by bees. Two bee species specialize on this plant. Hosts Sulfur butterflies. Not prefered by deer.

A prickly, short, shrubby, native rose. Can tolerate shade, but grows best in full sun for disease resistance and full blooms. Rose hips eaten by birds and mammals and used to make teas.

Could be used as a ground cover in a moist area, like your rain garden. Can grow in paths and can take high traffic.

Enjoy the delicious fruit of our one and only tropical native tree. Notorious for being difficult to transplant. Does better if planted in shade or part shade for at least the first several years. Better fruit production when multiple trees planted near each other for cross pollination. Host of the zebra swallowtail.
