ALLIUM tricoccum $5.95 20” x 24” z4 Wild Leeks This is the native wild leek of the woodland. One of the first plants to show in the forests here in spring with flat, low, broad foliage. Leaves and bulbs are delicious raw or pickled, though beware of garlic breath! White indistinct flowers later in summer followed by shiny black seeds. Excellent for naturalizing.

Beautiful in the late spring when it bursts into bloom and beautiful in the fall when the bright green leaves on this native cultivar brighten to a delicious butterscotch that persists right into first snow. Forms a compact clump; good in rich, moist soil and the dappled shade of the woodland garden or in full sun. Easy to grow in the woodland or shade garden among hosta and ferns and trilliums. Very long bloom season. Photo courtesy Walters Gardens, Inc. AMSONIA hubrichtii $15.95 3’-4’ x 24” z4 Arkansas Blue Star Very narrow, needle-like leaves line the stems like bottlebrushes. Clusters of star-shaped, sky-blue flowers persist for about one month in spring. Billowy foliage turns a beautiful golden yellow in fall, brilliant enough to rival most shrubs and trees. For us northerners, the foliage remains attractive and fresh well into December, after the first snows. Native to southern United States, and no-fuss hardy in Mount Forest. A fantastic plant, exceptionally garden worthy and highly recommended. You'll love the flowers, but its fall colour will call you to the garden again and again.

Forms a dense, billowy mass, and displays wonderful golden-orange fall colour which actually outshines the floral display. Excellent in moist soil, part shade. Can be used for naturalizing, but also spectacular in the perennial border. Photo: Source www.wild-things.ca 8 1-877-538-3228
