It is native to dry, sandy, usually calcareous soils, cracks in rocks, limestone pavements, rocky outcrops, grassy slopes and prairies from Quebec to Saskatchewan south to Georgia, Arkansas, and Colorado.This plant was originally classified as Aster ptarmicoides, but was subsequently reclassified as Solidago ptarmicoides. Notwithstanding its aster-like white ray petals (most goldenrods have yellow ray petals), this plant has goldenrod-like foliage and is known to hybridize in the wild with other goldenrods but not with other asters.After flowering, seed heads containing small clusters of seed with white fluff form (goldfinches love to eat the seed). Harvest promptly if seed is to be saved.Narrow pointed green leaves have smooth or rough textures. Lower leaves (to 7” long) are lanceolate-oval and stalked. Upper leaves are smaller, narrower, and widely spaced, eventually becoming stalkless near the top. Daisy-like flowers in open, flat-topped, corymbiform clusters (each cluster typically having 3 to 25 but sometimes as many as 50 flowers) bloom late summer to fall. Each flower has between 10-20 white rays and creamy white to pale yellow center disks. This is a low mounded plant with narrow, 6-8” long, pointed, lanceolate leaves, and flat clusters of 1/2” daisy-like flowers having white rays and white to pale yellow center disks. Flowers bloom August – October.Genus name comes from the Latin words solidus meaning whole and ago meaning to make in reference to the medicinal healing properties of some species plants.Specific epithet means causes sneezing as memorialized by the sometimes used common name of sneezewort aster for this species.UsesPlants grow as somewhat unexceptional mounds of green foliage until the flowers explode into bloom in late summer. Naturalize in dry locations.FAST FACTSSCIENTIFIC NAME: Solidago ptarmicoidesCOLOR: WhiteSEED TYPE: PerennialSUN: Full SunMOISTURE: DryHEIGHT (IN.): 18-24BLOOM PERIOD: Late Summer – FallUSDA HARDINESS ZONE(S): 4-8 PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: WHITE UPLAND ASTERSowing: Direct sow the seed in late fall, planting it just under the surface and watering it once. If direct sown in the spring, the seed must be stratified first by mixing it with moist sand and stored in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. To start the stratified seed indoors, sow it in a flat; keep the soil evenly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F until germination, which should take place within 14-20 days. Transplant the seedlings after the last frost of spring.Growing: This plant prefers full sun and sandy or dry soil. It tolerates drought well, and should not need watering unless drought conditions persist. Keep in mind that too much moisture may cause root rot. Keep weeds under control, since this plant does not like competition. Mature plants will benefit from division after two or three years of growth. Cut the stalks down to the ground at the end of the growing season for easier growth in the spring. The flowers attract numerous bees and butterflies, providing a valuable source of nectar in late fall. Deer avoid this plant.Harvesting: Aster Ptarmicoides make lovely cut flowers. Cut the stems long, choosing flowers that have just opened. WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.

25 Vinca Minor Periwinkle Creeping Myrtle Perennial Evergreen Ground Cover

Vinca Minor Periwinkle Hardy Evergreen Ground Cover Plant Shrub 25+ Bare Root Plants Drought Resistant and a Fast and Easy Growing Spreading Plant. The Periwinkle flower (vinca minor) is most commonly grown as a form of ground cover; it is exceptional for preventing erosion. It grows best in growing zones 4 to 8. It is also referred to as creeping Vinca. It blossoms from April to May, and its blooms are a beautiful color. Their flowers are about one to two inches in diameter and funnel-shaped. Each flower has five flattened petals. The leaves range in size from 1 & 1/2 inches to 3 inches in length and are a shade of dark green. The leaves are oblong in shape and have a glossy appearance. They also can be propagated from stem cuttings that are collected anytime during the summer months. When planting new plants, space them six to twelve inches apart to prevent garden choking. There are over thirty types of vinca minor. It is known for spreading; once it is established in the desired location in your landscape, it requires minimal care. Periwinkle (Creeping Vinca) Is Drought Resistant and Grows Easily This herb has its ideal growing conditions in USDA Growing Zones 4 – 8 and reaches maximal heights of 6 inches tall. The plant grows horizontally more than vertically, however, with a maximum spread width of 18 inches at full maturity. In keeping with its perennial nature, the leaves of the Vinca minor are evergreen and grow throughout the year. The plant begins blooming in early May and reaches peak bloom by the end of June. Blooms of the Periwinkle are a light pastel lavender color and maintain a tube-like structure throughout the blooming season. Optimum growing conditions for the Vinca minor are composed of medium-moisture to dry soil beds, and the plant grows best underneath ample amounts of direct sunlight. However, even if direct sunlight is not present, the Periwinkle plant will grow efficiently in partly shaded environments, and it is versatile enough to grow in heavily shaded areas as well. Frequent uses of the Vinca minor include erosion control in heavily watered areas and normalizing the soil quality near the banks of rivers and streams.
