Moist Shade/Part-Shade Habitat Pack Concept Sketch

Our landscape designer Elise Lintelman created this sketch to inspire you in planting your habitat pack starter garden. Although the plants in each pack will vary according to nursery availability, you can use this sketch to help you think about where you might plant each species in a new, rounded garden bed of your choice. Check your plant labels to see which plants will become tall and which will remain shorter. Note that this design places some shorter plants in the center to fill in the spaces between taller bouquets of native flowers.

Bear in mind that the native plants will move around over the years as new seeds plant themselves in your living landscape. Start with your new pack of native plants and watch the changing drama unfold year after year!

Moist Shade species illustrated in this pack include: Geranium maculatum (Wild Geranium), Packera aurea (Golden Ragwort), Polemonium reptans (Jacob’s Ladder), Chelone glabra (White Turtlehead), Chrysogonum virginianum (Green and Gold), Conoclinium coelestinum (Blue Mistflower),Chasmanthium latifolium (River Oats), and Onoclea sensibilis (Sensitive Fern).
