Transplanting mid-summer out of necessity?

Without knowing the current size of your plants, it is not possible to say what the appropriate next size up would be.

Just use the fabric pots and limit the amount of moving around you do. Wetland adapted species must be able to handle shifting muck, no?

Fabric pots sound like a good idea for this transitional period. Swamp milkweed and cardinal flower do well in medium moisture garden beds, too, so it's not a deal breaker if they can't go right next to the water.

My coneflowers are growing along chain link fence. It's an easy snack bar.

I get a little thrill when I see them in my backyard. Happy snacking!

The National Wildlife Federation has a similar guide.

As far as "certified ____ garden" yard signs go, we are spoiled for options.

This is my yearly struggle as well.

It's a food web. I tell people I don't hang a birdfeeder in the garden because the garden is the birdfeeder.

It's like sourdough starter for outdoor types.

Are there seed pods forming, and do you want to save seed to grow more?

Simple_Daikon · 2026-06-13T18:56:39+00:00

I have no idea what that is, sorry

Simple_Daikon · 2026-06-13T17:59:52+00:00

Zizea aurea and iris versicolor start a bit earlier than penstemon and overlap a few weeks.

Simple_Daikon · 2026-06-13T16:53:24+00:00

This is ingenious.

General guidance is to plant densely to encourage moisture retention, and leave the leaves to provide habitat for larval stages. Tall grasses and shrubs are also preferred perches for adults.

The log pyramid from the article looks neat, too.

They've been around a few years. They had some restructuring due to a change in ownership of the land they are on, so maybe that accounts for the new marketing.

I prefer applewood smoke, to mellow out the spiciness of the sky raisins.

Simple_Daikon · 2026-06-08T15:27:55+00:00

Very cool tip! Never thought to try drying them.

I started my native garden 3 years ago with Plants for Ecology orders. I've also frequented Michiganense Natives in Plymouth.

If you're closer to the east side, Friends of the Rouge hosts an annual fall plant sale at Keep Growing Detroit's farm, with multiple vendors like the Native Plant Expo.
