Looks like frost is on the way in a few days, but in the meantime, Chinese climbing bleeding heart (Dactylicapnos, formerly Dicentra, torulosa) is still showing off with interesting flowers, foliage, and seedpods. #dactylicapnostorulosa #dicentratorulosa #annualvines #climbingbleedingheart #hayefield #hayefieldseeds

‘Albe Red Variegated’ cotton (Gossypium herbaceum): I never imagined this beautiful thing would come true from seed, but it does! #gossypiumherbaceum #alberedvariegated #variegatedcotton #hayefield #hayefieldseeds

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
