We are listing the Native Wild Flowers that 
do well if planted in the spring. Many of 
the native plants start blooming so early 
in the spring that it is impossible to transplant 
them at that time. Our fall list will contain 
many more favorites such as Bloodroot, Jack' 
in'the'Pulpit, Dutchman’s Breeches, Trillium 
and many others. All of these should be 
planted in the fall for best results. All orders 
for Wild Flowers received after April 15th 
will be booked for fall delivery.
