favorites like wild ginger (Asarum canadensis), Spicebush (Lindera benzoin),
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) and Green and Gold (Chrysogonum

(Helenium autumnale — in bloom!), Field Pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta),
Maryland Partridge Pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata), and Virginia Dayflower
(Commelina virginica — for wet places). I can’t list here all the species we

sale for Green Spring’s Fall  Garden Day on Sept 22.
