Pale Purple Coneflower – Northern Wildflowers
$4.00Perennial
3-5 feet tall
Full Sun
Blooms June to July
Dry to Moist Site
Approx. 50 seeds per pack
Zones 3-8Purple Coneflower (Echinacea pallida) flowers are a unique dusty purple and emerge in early summer. It forms a deep taproot which allows for great drought tolerance, but it does not do well in undrained soil and resents being transplanted. It is a food source of the adult Ottoe Skipper butterfly, which is listed as endangered in Canada and threatened in the United States. There has been much debate over the years about whether Pale Purple Coneflower is historically native to Southern Ontario or not, as documented historical specimens are rate yet it can be found in bordering states and throughout much of the central United States. Most restoration practitioners consider it to be native or ‘near native’ to Ontario.

A ball of white/purple star-shaped flowers blooms at the end of the summer and are pollinated by native sweat bees. Note that first year plants may look a bit like grass at first. It is in their second year that stem girth increases and flowering occurs. Plants can also be propagated by splitting off the bulb-lets which develop on the side of the main bulb.

Approx. 100 seeds per pack
Hardiness Zones 3-8Hoary Vervain (Verbena stricta) is a gorgeous prairie native that is more compact and than its more popular relative Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata). Hoary vervain is the host plant of the Common Buckeye butterfly and its seeds are an important food source for small mammals and birds. While it self-seeds readily, hoary vervain does not compete well against more aggressive wildflower varieties and tall native grasses. Note, seeds are very small.

3 feet tall
Full Sun to Part-Shade
Blooms April to June
Medium-Dry to Medium-Wet Site
Approx. 80 seeds per pack
Hardiness Zones 3-8Golden Alexanders (Zizia aurea) is stunning, golden-yellow native plant that every garden should have. This plant is easy to grow and will self-seed. Golden Alexanders will tolerate a lot of shade but prefer full sun or light shade. They are adaptable to a wide range of soil types. This cheery-looking plant is important to a number of short-tongued insects that are able to easily access the nectar in the small yellow flowers. Black Swallowtail and Ozark Swallowtails caterpillars will feed on its leaves. Golden Alexanders is an early bloomer, giving the garden colour for several weeks in late spring to early summer when many other plants have not yet come into bloom.
Note: should not be confused with the similar-looking Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) which is a highly invasive biennial commonly found on roadsides and other disturbed sites. Wild Parsnip is taller than Golden Alexanders, blooms later and can cause painful skin burns.

$4.00Perennial
1 foot tall
Full Sun to Partial Sun
Blooms May to June
Medium-Wet to Medium Site
Approx. 30 seeds per pack
Zones 3-8Canada Anemone (Anemone canadensis) is your go-to for a short, hardy native ground cover. Overcrowded clumps can be divided in the fall to maximize flowering. The spring flowers are whimsical and abundant and the remaining foliage is attractive right into the fall. Canada anemone can be aggressive, so plan its position in your garden carefully.

Note, as many other woodland plants, Canada anemone can be challenging to germinate from seed. This species requires double dormancy, or double cold moist stratification. When planted in the fall, the plant may require 2 seasons to germinate, or if stratification is done indoors, the cycle should be followed twice (see below).

Zones 3-6Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) is a native culinary delicacy that is very easy to grow from seed and a breeze to maintain. The crushed leaves and flowers smell and taste like licorice and are immensely popular with bees.
Growing Instructions
No pre-treatment required. Sow seed at soil surface. Do not let seedling dry out while it is establishing.
Perhaps worth noting is that anise hyssop hybridizes readily with all members of the Agastache family, including a number of cultivars and some non-native varieties that in some areas are now considered naturalized. As an open-pollinated species, it is possible and increasingly common for a wild-type stand of A. foeniculum to be pollinated by a different Agastache variety, producing hybrid seed. Hybridization is especially common in urban settings, where ornamental and medicinal hyssop varieties are abundant. Although hybridization is difficult to avoid, maintaining isolation distances of 5,000 meters or more between your stand and other varieties can help. Non-native Agastaches often winter-kill as they are hardy to zone 5 and up. Non-native Agastaches are not considered invasive species and although hybridization is a nuisance, they are nonetheless equally excellent nectar sources for pollinators.
