If you're in the colder parts of eastern North America with lots of big canopy trees, try these out in your garden! Pinkroot Spigelia marilandica, Virginia spiderworts Tradescantia virginiana, and sundrops Oenothera fruticosa are perennial flowers native to the North American eastern temperate broadleaf forests. They all bloom at the same time (and for a long time!) for an excellent primary color combo in dry part sun. (Spiderwort flowers can range from very blue to vivid pink).

Pinkroot is a hummingbird feeder, spiderwort caters to tiny native bees, and sundrops
attract a wide range of pollinators and birds.

I never remember where its tubers are but it crawls its way up and out every year.

The cup plant and joe pye weed I have gotten enormous so fast im so scared

Northern Indiana USA beech-maple woods. Shots of this bed from the last few weeks. I love green texture!!! Cool temps and consistent rain have helped everything get very lush. Shaded by some silver maples. Lots of species - nonnatives are some tulips that were here when I moved in and have done well, and some indulgent hybrid columbine.

(Indiana USA) Just showing off because my columbine went nuts this year! One of my favorite flowers, wonderful in part shade, easily spreads around via seed.

I have 2 nonnative cultivars (the blue and the frilly pink), 1 wild type red native *Aquilegia canadensis (*sad, lonely, I need to get it more friends), and the purple is a gorgeous cross of the red and the blue that happened by accident!! Very cool to see.

Anyway show me your columbine

/uj a house by me is getting renovated to flip it. the landscapers did this slap dash job and its soooooo funny. They cut down a weedy 15 ft Norway maple by the foundation and some huge flowering shrub and left this. A+ job boys who gives a shit amirite
