Nursery Flowers (Medium to Moist Soil) – Prairie Shore Botanicals

Eastern virgin’s-bower

This vine produces clusters of pure white flowers that turn into fluffy, beard-like plumes.

Golden ragwort brightens up the spring prairie with its gold-centered yellow flowers that stand above the surrounding vegetation.

The bright yellow flowers aren’t the only attractive feature of this plant…

A common understory plant in both prairie and woodland habitats.

Ranked S3, or vulnerable, in Manitoba.

A rare find in Manitoba’s tall grass prairie/aspen parkland.

Three species of insects – a cellophane bee, a flea beetle and an aphid- are exclusive to alumroots.

At the base of each flower petal is a greenish heart-shaped gland that secretes nectar and attracts a variety of insects.

Flowers are uniquely arranged on one side of the stem.

What’s really neat about this goldenrod is its pin-wheel leaf arrangement.
