In a previous house in the city, daughter lined her beds with wine bottles and it looked cute. I imagine yours will, too. However, as for the landscape fabric, I have lived in my current house almost 30 years and am still finding plastic in the soil. For a long time I wondered why nothing would grow in certain areas. Then the black started showing. In spite of the problems with weeds, I really like seeing all of the volunteers of Trilliums, bloodroot, spring beauties, etc., in places where they can set seeds and grow. I am in the country and am not really a gardener, just love plants, so I prefer NOT to use products that provide so much control. To each his own, as the previous poster said.

You have listed what appears to be what we call "Nativars", or plants that have been selected from wild collected seed and then bred to stabilize those characteristics the person found desirable characteristics. There is some beating of the drums of disagreement about their use in the Native plant growing community. I am unsure about the purpose of your thread. Are we just to list natives that we grow or natives that we know are straight species with a trade marked name in quotes tacked on. That also happens. People will take a certain population of a plant and tack their special name on the plant. Muhlenbergia emersleyi "el Torro" is one that comes to mind.In the wild it is bullgrass so it is not much of a stretch.

I've got a similar tricky spot. Waldsteinia is one of the few thing that flourishes there for me. I'm surprised that two Sanguinaria I planted there about three years ago have formed a little colony now. Other stuff I've tried seems to hang on but not thrive.

Is it likely I wouldn't get flowers the first year? This showed up in various sunny spots. An argument in favor of a match is that when I compared this to the Eupatorium serotinum I have, both have reddish color in some of the stems. For people who might be curious Eupatorium serotinum is a very good bee plant for me once it flowers late in the season and I like how it looks. It's a much taller plant than the one foot the mystery plant. I think I'll leave some of them and see if they flower next year unless I hear that no flowers this year means not a match. Thanks again for your help Jay.
