Spring flowering natives are so welcomed after winter! One of my favorites is bloodroot (sanguinaria canadensis). We found a few small plants in our yard when we moved into our house 38 years ago. The flowers are the purest white. I'm so surprised that it grows and thrives in one of the hottest driest spots in our yard. Love all the plants you are growing. I have a fothergilla major, but unfortunately, the deer, true to form, do not read the deer resistant plant list and have eaten all the flowers in previous years. This past winter, I put a wire cage around it and am enjoying my imprisoned blooms this spring. (Baltimore zone 7b)
Your imprisoned blooms!!! lol!!! I need to try bloodroot. I tried to grow it from seed but it's a little tricky and it didn't work out for me. Probably should just go ahead and buy some plants.
Hi Paula! It almost seems like many of them are a bit early this year.....we had NO SNOW and barely a winter! SMH! Makes me a little nervous about the bugs we'll have to deal with in the summer...
I am in zone 5a, so spring blooms are just coming. Right now there is bloodroot, which I love to find how it randomly appears in different areas. I also have a shipment of bluebells arriving tomorrow to plant! Lori
Hi Lori! Thank you for dropping me a note! I just finished up planting my 2nd year bluebell seedlings..EVERYWHERE! I am hoping for a big show next year or the year after.
Can ragwort tolerate spring flooding? I have a slope that floods in the spring about once a week. Way less so other seasons. Maybe ragwort is my answer to help prevent erosion.
I may be mistaken but it looked like you have had Green & Gold (Chrysogonum virginianum) in bloom. I am loving mine as an agressive native ground cover
Hi Becca! Thank you so much! I get my seeds from a few places. Toadshade Wildflower Farm, Prairie Moon Nursery and the Wild Seed Project. The closer you can source seed to your location the better. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Let me know your favorite native that is currently blooming, in your location, in the comments below!
I learn something new every time I tune in to your channel. The Eastern Redbud is beautiful and I love the blooms on the trunk! WOW!
Thank you! ;)
Don’t you just love spring time when new life blooms around us.
YES!
Just gorgeous ❤
Why thank you very much! :)
@@ninetypercentnative you’re welcome

You've got all the things! Fun to see them in action - I'm still building up our spring bloomers, so nice to at least see them virtually!
Hi! There are so many ephemerals I still want! ;)
Loved the pretty flowers. So many different colors!
Thanks so much 😊 I am especially loving all the yellow and purple.
I'm in southern Ontario and a lot of our natives are the same! Yours are blooming earlier though lol. Love to see it!

Love your enthusiasm! Things are blooming here a Faire Meddow too
Morning Sue, thank you! I bet it;s GORGEOUS at Faire Meddow!!!
Beautiful! and I need to get me some of that ragwort to help me crowd out weeds... :)
Morning! It works like a charm!
Lovely!!
We have Golden Ragwort blooming in our woods at the bottom of a hill. I will have to keep an eye on them to gather seeds.
Hi Heidi! Thank you! I have ever been able to germinate Golden Ragwort, SMH!!! I propogate it by moving the seedling all around the yard.
@@ninetypercentnative I will give that a try.
Really nice video 😊
Thanks for the visit

Morning Taylor! I would give it a try for sure!

Yes, I do! It isn't quite in its prime yet, but very close! ;)
Hi, I am really enjoying your channel! Where do you get your native seeds?
