  • Average to high moisture soil
  • 2' height, 12" to 18" spacing.
  • Fall Blooming
  • Ontario Native, Beginner Friendly, Happy in meadows and open woodlands, as well as cultivated gardens.

A very pretty, slow growing, late blooming perennial. Their blooms remain closed and are pollenated by bumblebees, which are strong enough to pry open the flowers and climb right inside them.

The Online Plant Nursery will re-open for orders on Tuesday, May 17th

Pickups will begin the following week.

I will be offering plug sized plants for $1.25 each or 5 for $5. 

I'm in the process of adding species that I expect to offer this spring to the listings since they are starting to germinate and I'm starting to get an idea of which will be available in abundant quantities.

Since the list is much longer this year I've added several categories to help narrow down your options based on a variety of criteria.

For those who have already adopted seedlings, planting instructions can be found here.
