Columbine Have many of these plants, which reproduce very easily. These little white-flowered Columbines are a compact plant that easily self-seeds. Small, and shade-loving, the foliage is clover-like, and the flowers and dainty and pretty. These plant has been growing in my year for about 7 years now, and is easy to maintain. Hardy to at least zone 4. | Plants |  (DawnRayborn) |

| Italian Gladiolus Gladiolus These are a variety of pink, red, yellow, white and a mixture of all those colors together, some of the red ones have white or yellow rims around the petals, and some of the white ones are spotted with red and pink. I bought these to do a little section in my yard, and started with all of about 8 or 9 plants, which flower very profusely! They came back the second year with about three times as many in number as the first year, and grew to astonishing height and beauty! I filled in many holes with the extras, but fear this year will have far too many to divide again, and I ran out of neighbors that want them. These are very strong plants, and very hardy, easily surviving the MI winter without lifting. First year plants tend to droop, however, if not braced with a short fencing or something of that sort, the flowers get very heavy in their clusters. They make beautiful cut flowers, but are unfortunately relatively scentless. | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (DawnRayborn) |

Lilac Purple Lilac bushes, many of these will be ready to go by the end of summer. Will take cuttings and root them this Spring, as well as digging up plants that have grown from the parent plant. Would like to thin these down considerably. | Plants |  (DawnRayborn) |

Morning Glory Convolvulaceae Due to increase in perennial planting, I have simply run out of room to grow these, except for a very few, but they are highly prolific. The vines grow like wild, producing a range of colored, trumpet-like flowers, from white, to pink, purple, and even blue, and mixtures of these in darker and lighter hues. They are a fool-proof plant. I got them from a friend whose mom had been letting them grow in her yard for 5+ years, and I have myself been growing them at least that long, off of those original seeds. They produce huge seed pods with between 4 to 6 seeds each, easily collected in the Springtime. Black or white seeds give no clue as to flower color, I've expiramented with both. Seeds require little more than to be tossed on the ground and watered to germinate, then require little watering, unless grown in containers. They will grow in grass or tilled soil, in cracks in the sidewalk, or pretty much anywhere they land. Seed pods open naturally after June, but can be collected and planted earlier for more growing time. Old vines should be ripped down. Be careful if you let these seed themselves, they will take over and smother other plants if given the chance. A pretty addition to any trellis, lattice, or fence. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
