Bring one or more native plants (e.g., trees, shrubs, flowering perennials, ferns, grasses). Acceptable non-natives would include naturalized plants and herbs. Bring plants in clean pots, not bags or buckets! Please pot your plants at least 2 weeks in advance for good root development.

beardtongue, Penstemon ‘Dark Towers’, sun, dry/med, 2 ft; spring, pink
