Includes 10 species of native/naturalized wildflowers that tend to be short-lived but a bit rambunctious in reseeding or spreading by roots selected to provide constant and overlapping flowering for our valued pollinators plus 1 naturalized grass species for nesting all in a shade-part shade, dry-moist "cottage garden".  For me a "cottage garden" is one where the gardener allows the plants to find their own niches with some gentle editing in spring to eliminate any rogue reseeding or spreading. 

Species to include:
