I’m a sucker for Solomon’s Seal. I’ve been planting Bloodroot seeds for years now…maybe something will come this spring. 🤞

Green-and-Gold (Chrysogonum virginianum) is a great woodland native. It is not quite native to me in Boston, but I use it anyway as it is such a great ground cover

Hello Everyone! Please share your favorite native plants for shade and the woodland in the comments below! I'd love for you to share so others can learn from your experiences. I will throw out another one that's quickly moving up my list, wood reed grass! ;)

Great suggestions! I planted Christmas fern from bare root a year ago. It was a bit lackluster this year, but I'm hoping for a better show as they become more established. I also love Northern maidenhair fern. I also second Foam Flower as another person said! One more I grew last year was Jacob's Ladder. I have Polemonium caeruleum (edit: I'm reading today this one is not native) that had a few flower stalks with many small blue flowers in summer and into fall and Polemonium reptans with many stalks that only flowered in the spring. Both have very similar interesting leaves.

Excellent content, thank you. Afterwards, I felt winded. 😮

Wonderful ideas. I have some bare root Christmas ferns en route. My woodland garden is bare- I can’t wait to see the impact these have on defining the walkway!!

Sharp-lobed hepatica is my #1 favorite. Others are Spicebush, Large-flower Trillium, Northern Sea Oats with their gorgeous "woven" seedheads, Wild Phlox.

Most of my yard is open with full sun and several very large pines. I planted wax myrtle, sparkle berry, yaupon and sweet bay several years ago and hope to add additional native trees and shrubs to create a woodland area in my yard. There are so many beautiful shade loving plants I would love to grow.

Always bizarre when you find a creator and wonder why I never saw you in my feed before a search today. Your style is kind of wabi sabi which I definitely subscribe to that style of garden. I added you to my interesting by others playlist and subscribed which people can see! Really enjoyed exploring your channel!

Thanks Michelle, another great video. My may apples have taken over a large part of my woods. I have yet to find a turtle. Black cohosh and blue mistflower are my favorites too. I have searched for golden ragwort seeds for winter sowing but most places were sold out. Maybe I’ll look into some plugs for the spring. I am getting cabin fever waiting for spring to arrive!

Nice list of plants. Thank you. By the way, I have seen deer hit my Mayapples. I'll have to be on the lookout for the Box Turtles.

Fantastic video, as always! Happy Tuesday! 😄
