[quote=Anonymous]I want to thank the OP for starting this thread, and several of the responders for sending me browsing sources that provide native plants. I had been looking without much luck earlier. 80% of our property is left alone (we have acreage). In our previous home (similar situation), I had started reclaiming the woods from the invasives by planting natives. Our current property is less disturbed, but also seem to lack ephemerals, so I’ll work on that some. The 20% that is landscaped, is a lot of lawn (DH won’t budge on that one), with extensive landscaping that is a mix of natives and non-natives. The few beds that the landscaper is not responsible for, I’m attempting more native species. However, it’s challenging, not only because of the soil (marine clay), and wetness, but because it is highly visible, and cannot be left to look wild. [/quote]
