Three Oaks Native Plants

Packera aurea (Golden ragwort) is starting to bloom! This versatile plant makes a wonderful ground cover in shade, part-shade, & part-sun conditions, and works with dry to wet soil. Yellow blooms spring up this time of year, then you’re left with a wonderful low-growing ground cover the rest of the year.
Especially lovely planted in large groupings, or alongside Phlox divaricata (woodland phlox, seen in photos)

On this drizzly autumn day, here's a gorgeous capture of a Red-eyed Vireo on a Gray Dogwood (credit to Mary Holland)
Gray Dogwood, Cornus racemosa, provides excellent habitat & food to our feathery friends. In the fall, its white berries contrast beautifully against the reddish-purple foliage.
This thicket-forming, deciduous shrub may grow up to 15 feet high, or up to 27 feet tall as a small tree. Its creamy-white flowers bloom from May-June and form dome-shaped clusters.
Cornus racemosa may be planted in full sun to partial shade and in a wide variety of soil types. While it prefers moist soil, it withstands dry, wet, and poor soils well. A larval host to Spring Azure.
Currently have 2 Gallon sizes available, at about 2-2.5' tall (see photo)
