pasr 10 the tribune thurvlay july 18 1968 bonnie anderson dairy princess pickering buys tractorloader wild flowers for problem garden by john braoshaw home owners with larger lots often ask for informa tion on wild flowers a- kssible solution for mini mum care areas they arc thinking of course of native wild flowers particularly those that grow in shade it is difficult for them to appreciate that every flower we grow in gardens was originally a wild species so far man has only been able to improve on what already- existed somewhere in the world to limit our choice strictly to native species is to sacrifice much of the beauty possible in planting uncultivated areas usually the problem is one of shade particularly where trees are planted too close together to further complicate matters much of the native vegetation has been left untouched here about the only plants that can succeed are woodland perennials that make all of their growth before deciduous trees leaf out pro duce flowers and either die down completely until the following spring or barely exist through the rest of the year in this group are such plants as the plantain lily funkia bugle weed ajuga bleeding heart and dutchmans breeches dicentra various lilies forget- menots violets and creeping jenny bluebells of virginia mertensia is one of these wild flowers which should be planted now since it has died down and is fully dormant the ever popular lily of the valley is perhaps the easiets of these to establish it like most of the wild flowers mentioned can be moved right now if the fo liage is sprayed with a wiltproof chemical proided the plants are kept well watered but are not drowned by overwatering where some sunlight seeps through the trees the wood phlox divaricata is a desirable plant above all consider the christmas rose helleborus niger the glory of woodland flowers however is at its best when the socalled minor bulbs are used anyone with a shade problem in woods should make a note on his calendar for this august to order scillas grape hya cinths gloryofthesnow crocuses and the other little beauties which make such a spectacular show in early spring two plants that have been shamefully neglected on this side of the atlantic are the golden rods and our beautiful native asters in england these are treasured exotics until you have seen a clump of golden rod in cultivated soil freed from competition from grasses you cannot appreciate what a spectacular flower it is even in the wild it is worth having now that plant breeders in england have developed magnificent new varieties in a wide range of color in our native aster it is a real garden cinderella dont limit plantings to wild species use improved cultivated varieties for more spectacular bloom for example our wild blackeyed susan now glamorized into the gloriosa daisy makes a spectacular show when naturalized in unfilled areas the improved var ieties of our blazing star liatris are among our most useful plants for this purpose the native spider wort tradescantia virginiana has gone through a beauty treatment which has given it new colors and improved flower size a group of wild flowers practically unknown in southern ontario is the penstemon under the common name of beard tongue they are planted rather widely in colorado but many species do well here many annuals can be used as wild flowers by broad casting the seed where- they are to grow i have suc ceeded with alyssum calendula calliopsis candytuft bachelor button spider flowers cosmos gaillardia annual phlox portulaca and scabiosa some have kept going for years from selfsown seed a trick which helps establish annuals or perennials from seed in sod is to cover the area in early fall with tar paper to shut out all light this weakens the grass enough so that when the paper is removed in april seed can be sown on the treated area with more of a chance to succeed although wild flower enthusiasts frown upon dig ging natives in the wild nowadays so many patches of lovely plants are being bulldozed out of existence that you are really practicing conservation when you res cue these for replanting in your own wild flower pre serve
