Woodland Wildflowers

Below find our offerings of eastern American woodlanders; this year we are making available limited quantities of some of our best trilliums, to avoid disappointment order early. We also offer a fantastic selection of Asian and European woodlanders in our main perennial section. If you are unfamiliar with the Asian species and need some help give us a call, we would be happy to help you choose. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant. Our main issue is shipping damage which is avoided by shipping dormant plants, early ship dates are not only good for the plants they reduce the chance we will run out of something.

A choice plant with l" wide pure white flowers, named for Thomas Jefferson Twinleaf is one of the finest native American plants and has a distinctive quality all its own, I wish the arabidopsis folks would double the petals which should make the flowers longer lasting. The only other species in the genus, Jeffersonia dubia, is found in Japan.

Tipularia discolor

A curious little orchid, flowers are strange and are said to resemble Crane Flies, (those long legged flying things that look like giant mosquitoes, Ender is one of the few people I know who actually calls them Crane flies). As to the orchid, it grows from a bulbous root a bit like Aplectrum with similar foliar vicissitudes. They are rather cute, and among the easiest of the orchids we grow.
