Six on Saturday – Wintering Native Plants

🔊 Listen

I’m trying a post I’ve seen other gardeners make on Saturdays: a ‘Six on Saturday’ view of six items from my garden. It’s always six, not just plants, needs to be now-ish, verbiage is optional, and photos are a must.

For all the ins and outs, visit The Propagator’s Six on Saturday – A Participant Guide.

Because this is my first post for a hashtag with readers throughout the world, it might be helpful to note these are native plants to my location in Virginia, U. S., which is in the Mid-Atlantic region of North America.

Since I write so much, I’ll stick to the photos and simple identification of the plants I’ve been successful growing in my small, shady yard. Here we go!

(Chilly low of 15° this morning when I took these–the phone camera and my fingers weren’t too responsive!)

Aster seedhead.

Blue Wood Sedge, Carex flaccosperma (This is not lirope!)
