Fall for this native evergreen gem. Pachysandra procumbens produces fragrant white flower spikes in early spring, followed by a fresh flush of crisp green foliage. As the seasons turn, its foliage can develop attractive silver, purple, and burgundy tones, keeping things interesting well beyond its spring bloom. Growing just 6-12 inches tall, it spreads slowly by rhizomes to form a low, manageable colony, a great native groundcover for shady spaces. It may not put on a big show, but this little plant has a way of sticking around for every season. With a little patience, it will slowly fill in shady spaces without trying to take over the whole garden!

This year’s harvest at our Landenberg farm was truly a team effort!

The potatoes were planted in the first week of May with the help of our Stock QC crew, Miriam Patino Ramirez, Ariana Patino Ramirez, and Maria Garcia Martinez. Throughout the season, the team kept the plot w**ded, giving the potato plants room to grow. In early August, Ron Williams took the tractor through the field while Dan McKenna, Brad Sweeney, Megan Brook, the Stock QC crew, and Morgan Eagan followed behind to collect the potatoes. After curing and drying for eight days, they cleaned and sorted the harvest, which totaled 1,303 pounds of potatoes 🥔 for the Landenberg farm!

Here comes the onions! The seedlings were planted in May with Miriam, Ariana, and Maria, while members of the production crew, including Rose Daly, Marilyn Morales Tenorio, Jacqueline Escobar Sotelo, Marie Fuentes, and Daniela A. Ibarra, helped keep the onion row w**ded throughout the summer. Megan and Morgan harvested the onions during the last week of July and dried them for two weeks before Megan trimmed the tops and Rose helped distribute them into baskets.

The final onion harvest totaled 130 pounds! 🧅

A big thank you to everyone who helped plant, w**d, harvest, clean, sort, and distribute this year's crops. It takes a lot of hands to get food from the field to the farm, and apparently, a few people willing to follow behind a tractor picking up potatoes. 🚜~

Please note: In observance of Labor Day, North Creek Nurseries will be closed on Monday, September 7. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!

A native perennial that brings something a little different to the summer landscape! Growing about 12-18 inches tall, it forms clumps of grass-like foliage topped with loose clusters of pink to lilac-pink, bell-shaped flowers. The flower stems bend near the top, causing the blooms to hang downward and giving the plant its well earned common name. Blooming from summer into August, it provides a food source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Allium cernuum grows best in full sun to part shade and well drained, dry to medium soils. It is also deer resistant and tolerant of drought once established. If you are looking for a native perennial with an interesting flower form and a manageable size, nodding onion is an easy one to work into borders, naturalized plantings, and sunny garden spaces. And yes, if the foliage gets bruised, you may notice that familiar onion scent... Consider it part of the experience.

Tune in as SK, our Plant Trials Horticulturist, tells you all about this native grass that should be on your radar! ✨

Chasmanthium latifolium is one of those plants that earns its place in the landscape with more than just a good-looking flower. This versatile native grass works especially well in areas where finding the right plant can be a challenge, tolerating everything from moist soils to drier conditions once established and performing beautifully in sun or shade. Its distinctive oat-like seed heads add texture and movement throughout the season, making it a natural fit. Plus, the seed heads can be enjoyed long after the growing season as a fresh or dried cut flower.

Some plants know how to stick around, and Polystichum acrostichoides is one of them! This Eastern North American native keeps its deep green, leathery fronds through winter, bringing structure to shady plantings after many perennials have gone dormant. Its name comes from those evergreen fronds, and the stocking like shape of its leaflets. But there’s more to this fern than a festive name! Christmas fern handles dry shade, grows well in woodland settings and shady slopes, and forms tidy clumps that slowly increase over time. It’s also a practical choice for erosion control and provides low growing winter cover for wildlife. If you’re looking for a dependable native that earns its spot in the landscape year-round, Christmas fern is a classic for a reason.

A dependable native sedge that forms a low, spreading carpet of soft blue-green foliage. Native to woodlands across the eastern United States, Carex flaccosperma thrives in part to full shade and gradually spreads by short rhizomes to create an attractive, natural looking groundcover! Its evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage provides year-round interest in many regions, while small flower spikes in spring are followed by small seed heads. Adaptable to a range of well drained soils, this easy to care sedge is an the one for woodland gardens, shaded borders, under trees, or as a lawn alternative in low-light areas. It also supports native insects and contributes to healthy woodland ecosystems!
