| Woodland Sunflower This perennial sunflower species is widespread over the U.S. Growing on the margins of woodlands it is wonderful to see the bright yellow glowing from the forest depths. The lance-shaped leaves are opposite and have short stems and veins on each side curving parallel to the midrib. The leaves are slightly toothed and are rough on the upper surface. The flowers are about 2 inches in diameter. The ray flowers are bright yellow and the center disk is also yellow, becoming brown when mature. Birds such as Bluejays and Thrushes love to eat the seeds after flowering so sit back and enjoy bird watching after flowering. It flowers mid July into September and is especially useful in shaded areas where it throws an intense yellow beam into the shadows of the forest like bed. Easy to grow and spreads via the rhizomes. Sold as two rhizomes ready to plant year round. | | | Lily of the ValleyLily of the ValleyPerennial favorite with astounding aroma. Limited supplies. Order now.More InfoLily-of-the-Valley is an old-fashioned perennial that looks so delicate with its tiny bell shaped flowers. There is not anything delicate about this hardy shade-lover. Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) is a tough-as-nails perennial that will keep going after many others fail to thrive.It is one of the few perennials that can grow in the deep shade of large trees and shrubs. Lily-of-the-Valley also makes a good choice in small contained spaces. In areas where temperatures remain cooler in summer, it can even take full sun. This hardy perennial isn't very particular about the soil it's planted in. Lily-of-the-Valley can spread quickly by underground stems called rhizomes. Although each plant only has two or three wide and glossy leaves, it makes a beautiful ground cover in masses. The somewhat tropical looking leaves of this perennial belie its ability to survive sub-zero temperatures. Lily-of-the-Valley is hardy in USDA Zones 2 - 7. Even after the spring blooms fade, the leaves remain beautiful until fall and cover areas where other plants fail. The Lilly-of-the-Valley's blooms are very fragrant. That's just one more added benefit of this tough and reliable perennial. One of the ways Lily-of-the-Valley is sold at garden centers is by sprouts from the rhizomes called pips. These rhizome sprouts should be planted in the spring. This perennial is also available in container grown plants that can be planted anytime during the growing season. This tough perennial can spread quickly, so planting it in beds with other flowers is not a good idea. It will overtake the other plants and become a problem. Lilly-of-the-Valley will need a place that is enclosed with edging or other barriers to contain its spread. The container grown plants need to be spaced six to eight inches apart or the sprouts (pips) can be planted three to four inches apart. Lilly-of-the-Valley can also become invasive in natural forest areas, so take care if planting near natural woodlands. | ||
