Woodland Collection
In woodland and shaded habitats, plants must contend with limited sunlight, competition for resources, and the fluctuating moisture levels beneath a canopy, challenges mirrored in shaded backyard landscapes. These selections offer a tapestry of textures and seasonal changes, adapting beautifully to these conditions.
Spring
The woodland floor awakens with the emergence of Leavenworth Sedge, its delicate green blades providing an early carpet of texture. Wild Strawberry unfurls its leaves, and soon, its white blossoms appear, attracting early pollinators. Inland sea oats begin their upward growth. The subtle greens of zigzag goldenrod start to show. Small woodland creatures, such as chipmunks and ground-dwelling birds, begin to forage among the emerging foliage.
Summer
The landscape becomes a tapestry of varying greens and subtle floral displays. Inland sea oats develop their distinctive, drooping seed heads, creating a graceful, swaying effect. Zigzag goldenrod begins to show its zigzagging stem and start to produce its small yellow flowers. Pigeonberry develops its small, bright red berries, attracting birds. Wild strawberries produce their tasty fruit. Wingstem begins its rapid growth. Insects, including various species of flies and bees, visit the goldenrod and strawberry blossoms. Birds enjoy the berries from the pigeonberry.
Autumn
The woodland takes on a golden and russet hue. Inland sea oats turn a beautiful bronze, and the seed heads provide a valuable food source for birds. Zigzag goldenrod's golden blooms reach their peak, offering late-season nectar for pollinators. Wingstem's tall, yellow flowers add a late season splash of color. The foliage of wild strawberry begins to turn a reddish hue, and the pigeonberry berries persist. Many insects seek shelter in the fallen leaves and dried stems. Birds, such as sparrows, forage for seeds, and small mammals, like squirrels, gather nuts and berries.
Winter
The woodland landscape enters a period of dormancy, with the dried stems and seed heads of the plants providing structure and visual interest. Leavenworth sedge retains some of its green coloration. Inland sea oats remain standing, providing cover for wildlife. Snow may highlight the skeletal forms of the plants, creating a serene scene. Small mammals, such as voles and mice, may forage for remaining seeds and roots. Birds may continue to forage for any remaining seeds.
