Erin, I couldn’t agree with you more regarding Spring ephemerals. I have a small garden dedicated to them and it’s my pride and joy. It’s filled with bloodroot, great white, bent, sessile, yellow, red and a few other trilliums, hepatica, dwarf crested iris, twin-leaf, Dutchman’s breeches, yellow violets, meadow rue, Virginia bluebells, larkspur, foam flower, yellow and white trout lily, shooting star, May apple, Solomon’s seal, American ginger, Jack-in-the-pulpit, spring beauty and probably a few I have forgotten to list. I’ve collected these with permission from my sister’s woods, plant swaps and online purchases. They bring me indescribable joy each and every spring. 💚

Thank you for this video. Our backyard woods in Mequon was full of trilliums, may-apples and trout lilies back in the 70's. As a child, I didn't know what treasures we had. They were likely planted by nature as my parents built their house on what was a farmer's field with a woods at the top of the lake bluff. Been trying to (re)introduce more native wildflowers into my wooded ravine in the Hudson Valley. The deer have been so destructive of the understory of our woodlands here. Spring ephemerals do require patience but that makes seeing them bloom all the more rewarding. I have some wet spots where the marsh marigold might do well. I am glad that Jung and others are offering more of these native plants. I think I've already ordered more plants for this year than I can get in the ground but I am sorely tempted....

Living in WI zone 4 I do have many of these in our woods. They are magic as they bloom quickly and are done. Jung seed is a good company. I have gotten perennials and flowering bushes from them by mail order. There packaging is wonderful. I love plants versus roots. Erin can you convince them to carry Bambini phlox again? Mine are doing wonderful and it is something you should try. Oh how sweet it is!

These are such very special and precious plants. I live in Tacoma Washington. When we lived in the foothills of the Olympic mountains we had trillium on our property. I always told our grandkids to never pick them, just love them to look at. Here in Tacoma we have the bluebells growing like crazy! They come back year after year and a such a happy sight. Thanks Erin!!

IKR!! Here at my house, since we have huge old oak trees shading most of the yard, one would think we would have nice woodland soil underneath them. But, no. That's just not the case! We don't have much natural top soil at all. And the layer underneath that, the sub soil, is extremely rocky. When we "dig" a hole to plant something, we literally pull out more rocks than soil from the holes! I have to add soil on top, anywhere I want to plant something. Basically, like a little raised bed on top of our native ground. So any time I see someone plunge a shovel (of ANY size, even a hand trowel) into the ground, and 1st of all - they DON'T hit a rock, but instead they come up with some dark, rich, woodland soil - it's just AMAZING to me!! I DO have soil envy!!! And Erin has such great soil at her place! It's always a pleasure to watch anything being planted there at her house.

My grandfather’s garden in central Wisconsin had that same black soil, so I join other gardeners in wishing for that humus. To achieve it, I will use the same Soil3 compost that Jim Putnam uses. It’s great, but expensive. I grew up with native flowers and trees in our backyard East Tennessee woods - native deciduous azaleas, clusters of dogwoods, bluets - none of them intentionally landscaped.

@Kathryn Mettelka I can not possibly purchase the amount of soil I need... So, instead, I'm growing my own soil! I signed up for 4 loads of ChipDrop! Along with all those woodchips, I'm using another mountain of oak leaves that have collected under my trees, and I'm spreading those out in between the many layers of wood chips. It will take time, yes. But I'll have THE best soil when it finally does turn! Around here, it's a dream to have the kind of soil I will have! Meanwhile, I live vicariously thru You Tube by the shovel full !

Hi Erin, the first time I discovered Trillium was over 40 years ago on an island in the Thousand Islands of the St Lawrence River in New York! I literally felt like I stepped into a secret fairy garden! I have tried to plant them and I guess it just wasn’t the right spot! I do enjoy seeing many bloodroot in the woods near my home and just enjoy them and move along as I never thought of them as something I could plant! I look forward to planting some possibly next season as it is too late hear in Finger Lakes of NY! Thank you for bringing back some lovely memories!

Erin, you have the perfect soil and gardens to plant Spring ephemerals. You’re so right - they’re tiny, dainty gifts of Spring magic. The majority of my gardens face true South so there is lots of sun. I do have a beautiful stand of Variegated Solomon’s Seal on the East side of my home that is blooming right now. There is a large creek a couple streets from my home that feeds a very large reservoir. That creek is where I walk in the Spring time to enjoy thousands of Spring ephemerals in their natural woodland habitat, along with Owls, Eagles, and Ospreys, and the elusive Morels. It’s one of my favorite walks and I do it often during the first weeks of May because those beautiful plants flower for such a short window of time. Enjoy your new Spring beauties; may they live long and flourish in your wonderful soil. Enjoy!

I'm with you on the spring ephemerals. I adore liver leaf hepatica, trillium, cornus canadensis, and hardy cyclamen. In my woods, there have always been mayapples, now this year I'm seeing sasparilla. solomons seal, and canada mayflower. This year I decided to add dutchman's breeches and great merrybells along a woodland path. Somebody ate them off. I don't have a deer issue, so I'm looking hard at the rabbits. Not sure if they'll come back, they didn't have much time in the ground before they were lunch.

Each year I wait for my Prairie Trillium to bloom. It is unimpressive as a flower but, due to its rarity, I love it. Trilliums remind me of Body, Mind, and Spirit and how important it is to nourish each aspect or we burn out. This red trillium is indigenous to Michigan and I appreciate it. This too reminds me of home. I only have one. I keep hoping it will naturalize and create more--maybe this spring. Thanks, Erin for reminding me how wonderful native plants can be.

@@christinahaftmann4065 I have seen it, and I’ve also read the peer reviewed research. I could link to papers here (such as this abstract: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006291X21000577), but honestly at the end of the day, it really comes down to the definition of sentient, which hardly seems like a point worth parsing to death. As far as I know, it is commonly understood that plants use electrical signaling. Some have likened this to “feelings” such as sentient beings have. However (quoting the above abstract) “electrical phenomena in plants cannot serve to generate any kind of consciousness.” Although I certainly do it myself on occasion, I believe that we do ourselves and our plants a disservice by anthropomorphizing them, which is the only reason I push back with science on this topic. I assume this comment is related to my encouragement that people thin their seedlings. The point of that video, shared as a short here and a reel on Instagram is that thinning seedlings is necessary to grow healthy plants, and regardless of your thoughts on plant consciousness, this remains true. Perhaps another way to think of it is to imagine a whole bunch of dogs living in a small cage (forgive the analogy here but there is a fair amount of agreement in the biology community that dogs are sentient, hence why I chose that example). That’s is not healthy for any of them, so some need to be moved for the health of all. (This analogy goes downhill big time here, so I’ll stop there.) My point is, if your plants WERE sentient and could talk (not the same thing I realize) they would ask you to give them room to grow.

If you pick sage you ask permission from the plant and sometimes the plant will say "No, I'm a mother or grandmother." Believe me, when you ask they will tell you in no uncertain terms! Crystals are also profoundly sentient. But as I said seedlings understand that you need to thin them but they are also vibrantly aware. For me, it makes life so much richer and deeper to communicate with the sacredness of everything. ❤️ 🕉 🙏

The yellow bog plant looks like it's related to lily pads ie; the leaves. Would it grow in your water tank in the veg garden?

Every time I tried to buy these from a seed catalog they say they are out of stock. But it’s been several years since I’ve tried. We do haveMay Apple.

Hi, Erin…this is so off topic, but I’ve wanted to ask you about nicotiana…I’ve planted some by seed, and they came up nicely, but they’re still SO tiny and not really getting larger…is that typical?

Help, I need advice !!!! They are painting the side of house which I have climbing roses and hydrangeas. They clean the house first with a bleach and water rinse….will this hurt my plants? What should I do? Cover them with sheets/plastics? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question 🌹🌹🌹

You can cover them with plastic but I don’t find that the bleach solution is strong enough to do damage (we clean our house with the same sort of thing). I water down the plants first and then rinse them off afterwards. Everything seems to manage it fine.

If you had to pick between marsh marigold and nicotiana?

Please everyone watch out for lesser celandine which looks a bit like marsh marigold leaves, and small yellow daisy like flowers. It is not native and will overtake everything in sight. It likes moist conditions but is highly adapable. I had a copius amount spreading quickly after I spread mulch from our community pile. Not a wise idea when this can occur. I had to use weed killer which I hate as these have tiny tibers which survive if you try to dig them up. It was terrifying to see how quickly it was spreading in many patches and smothering all my ephemerals that took so long to grow.

Yes, completely magical and poetic are the ephemeral in the woodland. You can replicate that feeling of the secret woodland blooms you get to see. 🥰🪴🌻🌷
