Mid May At Fernwood

View from the potting bench, looking over a portion of the sales area

Here we are midway through the month of May. Earlier on, we enjoy the slow procession of the very first plants to bloom, we’ve talked about these….. the hepaticas, corydalis, hellebores, and others that are designed to emerge before the trees leaf out. Now that the soil temperatures ( and night time temperatures, too) are really warming, the gardens are bursting. Here are a few examples of what’s growing in the gardens right now at Fernwood.

Rhododendron dauricum ‘Candy Pink’ and Magnolia stellata

Trillium grandiflorum flore pleno, growing with Anemonella thalictroides ‘Schoaf’s Double Pink’

Trillium grandiflorum flore pleno

Uvularia grandiflora
