🌼FALL FOCUS PLANT HIGHLIGHTS AT THE NURSERY (EVERY NATIVE PLANT IN OUR NURSERY HAS A SPECIAL STORY):
🌻VIRGIN'S BOWER VINE (Clematis virginiana) Virgin's Bower is a perennial vine that can extend up to 10 feet. Its stems easily twine around trellises, fences, and nearby vegetation. Virgin's Bower prefers partial sun, moist to mesic conditions, and loamy soil. One can often find Virgin's Bower in thickets, woodlands, meadows, floodplains, and riverbanks. White flowers abundantly spread along the length of the vine, There is much variation in the flowers; a single plant can either produce all staminate flowers (male), all pistillate flowers (female), or all perfect flowers (both male and female reproductive parts). Regardless of gender, the flowers are less than 1" across with four sepals that are white or cream colored. These flowers bloom mid-late summer and last about a month. These flowers are visited by Halictid bees, wasps, and various native flies. Virgin's Bower is toxic to mammals, although the foliage is often used as nesting habitat for many songbirds.
Virgin's Bower can be confused with Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clematis terniflora or Clematis paniculata),an aggressive Asian vine with sweet-smelling flowers that has escaped from cultivation. The native Clematis has also been nicknamed "Prairie Smoke on a Rope" for its similar looking seedhead to the famous prairie plant Geum triflorum (Prairie Smoke.) It also may be referred to as Devil's Darning Needles.
🌻HAIRY BEARDTONGUE (Penstemon hirsutus) Open clusters of trumpet-shaped, lavender flowers grace Hairy Beardtongue from late May to late June, attracting bumblebees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Its early bloom time and hairy stems distinguish it from other Beardtongues. Its preference ranges for medium-wet to dry soils in varied sun conditions make it a versatile choice for home landscaping. Plants typically are 1-2’ tall with opposite, stemless lance-shaped leaves with toothed margins. The blossom shades range from pale hues of purples and blues to white. The long, thin blooms have five petals with a protruding, hairy lower lip that evokes the species’ common name.
