When we first created the Douglas fir bed, I tried desperately to fill in the new garden space with \u201cnative\u201d plants. Like many naive gardeners, I didn\u2019t do the research to see what plants were native locally\u2013I just assumed that any US wildflowers would be perfect in a new shady wildflower garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was really wrong, and I know that now. Most of the imports came and went in one season. The best exception is that one Trillium grandiflorum still lives in that bed and several others have taken hold where I planted them in the woodland garden. These are similar to the Trilliums of my childhood\u2013Trillium ovatum that grow wild here in wooded areas all around Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
