Broomsedge is a primary native meadow grass in our region.  Drought tolerant, it requires little care and is virtually disease and pest free.  Seeds along the stems are striking in fall and winter when the fine hairs of the seeds catch the sunlight.  Supports the Common Wood-Nymph and Skipper butterflies.

 A warm season, perennial bunchgrass with blue-green stems. Once established, has excellent drought tolerance and is easy to maintain. Seed, nesting and shelter for wildlife especially for ground nesters and birds of prey.

Best for moist areas of the landscape. Tolerates streambanks and pond margins. Can grow in heavy clay and nutritionally poor soils. Catkins in spring are insignificant. The bark is thin, smooth, and green-gray, grayish-brown, or reddish-brown. This tree is a nitrogen fixer.

White snakeroot is a fast grower that handles poor soil conditions in full sun to part shade.  Good for naturalizing areas but may spread aggressively.  Features pure white fluffy flowers on strong, branching stems.  Bees and other pollinators swarm on snakeroot while in bloom.

Highly ornamental with interest throughout much of the year. White Spring flowers, attractive glossy summer foliage, and red fruits and deep red foliage in fall. When young and small, provide some deer protection. Tolerates a range of soil conditions and is easy to maintain.
