Or the ephemeral springtime jack-in-the-pulpit and mayapple. These native plants are praised and prized. You would welcome them into your garden.

There isn’t much that beats a beautifully planted container. On a porch, along a walkway, at an entrance, they’re unmatched for color, texture, plant variety, and all around interest.
