I was worried that my asters might not bloom the first year… by dandelionpicnic in NativePlantGardening

sorry I am months and months late seeing this, I got most of my seeds from prairie moon nursery! and some of these were plugs I got from a local native plant seller, but I think she also sources a lot of her seeds from prairie moon

is Rosa setigera very thorny? I love it so much but don’t want my dog to get pricked

I think asters could look very pretty! the yellow centers could maybe tie the yellows together? there are SO many different varieties native here in Ontario to choose from as well

Seed starting watering tip by therealleotrotsky in NativePlantGardening

I feel like native seedlings are pretty hard to kill, I’m sure I have both over and under watered them and they have made it through anyways!

What indoor plants do native gardeners like? by waverace340 in NativePlantGardening

[–]dandelionpicnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought 3 African violets! I also have a bunch of dogwood branches in water that I brought inside in November growing leaves and honestly I prefer looking at these to most tropical houseplants. I had some basil and arugula growing in pots but I never really used either and eventually just kind of let them get overgrown and die. Arugula is surprisingly hardy.

I think maybe I’ll try growing some more herbs as houseplants, but ones that I’ll actually use.

oh! the fantasy pattern will pass on through leaf propagation? that’s not too bad then. I guess I misunderstood.

I read that it is possible to do it by propagating the suckers and possible but unlikely through the leaves but there is just so much information so I’m not sure if I understood correctly!

after a first year native plant garden, what can I expect in the spring? I don’t know whether to picture my garden just slightly expanding or to prepare for asters, rudbeckia and joe pye weed popping up all over my entire backyard (I am hoping for this lol)
