I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they’re all already blooming....
Pic from a fen restoration I help with. Prettiest one I’ve seen.
I’m in southeast Michigan, hardiness zone 6b, and I’d like to add a small or mid size evergreen to my yard for some winter interest, any suggestions?...
I own this 1 ft wide, 30 ft long strip between my driveway and the neighbor’s property. It’s steeply angled the whole length due to my pavement being higher than the neighbor’s yard. Grass turf would be difficult and awkward to trim in this location. I would prefer to plant something native and perennial that won’t...
No hurricanes this year means that my swamp sunflowers didn’t get knocked over! Also something about the lighting made this bee look silver even though it’s really metallic green. Florida, Zone 9b
I post a lot of edible plants native to (roughly) the Northeast U.S. on my Pixelfed account.
Most of my experience is in temperate climates in Northern/Western Europe (for specific plant species info), but I’m happy to help answer management questions in general....
Basically the title. Despite being interested in plants as a teen and trying to germinate exotics under my first grow light, I didn’t get into natives until much later…completely on accident....

I rent, so I got a limited space to work with. That said, I counted 12 bees buzzing my 3 anise hyssop plants (Two are 2 years old in the ground, 1 in a container from seed this year) and my (Monarda Citriodora) lemon bee balm! This is the most I have seen in my yard so far!...
All seeds harvested within 100 miles and in same ecoregion. I have a nursery license and have sold some (at cost) at a few yard sales, but am looking to sell more or do a plant giveaway before winter. Have been looking for examples of others doing this and haven’t found much. Want to ensure people buying them/taking them...

Coneflowers and beebalm....
Hope this is an acceptable contribution here. I've been converting areas of my Midwestern yard to native plant habitat for the past 2+ years. It's sparkling with fireflies tonight while the surrounding grass yards are dark. Gives me a bit of a boost to get ready for tackling the sprouts of pokeweed and thistle tomorrow.
This is the second year I’ve had them (Monarda fistulosa). I think they were already a season old by the time I planted them in my flower bed. I had also planted red beebalm (Monarda didyma) and spotted beebalm (Monarda punctata) in the same flower bed. Both of the latter flowered the first year and the red beebalm is already...
Love this community, very excited....
