A festive collection of lovely little leatherflower clematis: some species (including Clematis addisonii, C. glaucophylla, C. versicolor, and C. viorna), as well as several natural crosses #leatherflower #clematis #speciesclematis #nativeclematis #clematis #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
Smooth purple coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) is considered to be a federally endangered species. Several years ago, I received a gift of seeds from a mystery donor and have been enjoying it in my garden ever since. The plant-to-plant variation is really interesting—different color intensity and petal widths, for example—but all show the typical drooping petals and smooth leaves and stems. It has been flowering for a good 3 weeks already, while E. purpurea is just starting to flower. Easy from winter-sown seed. I’ve had it germinate in warm conditions too, without any chilling, but at a lower germination percentage. Lovely as a single plant in the garden and gorgeous in groups! It hates soggy soil but has been adaptable otherwise. #echinacealaevigata #smoothpurpleconeflower #endangeredplants #nativeperennials #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
Large-flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora): perfectly peachy, with blue pollen as a perfect finishing touch. It’s an annual native to western North America, flowering here in PA from mid or late May to mid or late June, at around 3 feet tall. #collomiagrandiflora #largefloweredcollomia #nativeannuals #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
Another annual native to California that adapts easily to life elsewhere, including here in PA: Farnsworth’s jewel flower (Streptanthus farnsworthianus). The small flowers are cute by themselves, but against those purple bracts—just wow. I started the seeds indoors in early March and set out the seedlings in April; the best show is from late May to late June. #streptanthusfarnsworthianus #farnsworthsjewelflower #annualflowers #hayefield #hayefieldseeds
