Hi! I am from the PNW, Skagit County specifically. I am wanting to plant some wildflowers, however we do not get much sunlight in my yard. Can you recommend any specific varieties of wildflower, or where I can get quality wildflower seed that does not have invasive species in them? Thanks for this video - it was very informative and helpful.
Hello aquacrimefighter2368 thrilled you found my video at Pacific Rim Institute and that you are looking to plant wildflower in your garden indeed there are numerous herbaceous plants that grow well in the shade, adapted to the forest edge and openings a few that come to mind include: twinflower, star flower, threeleaf foam flower, yellow flowered evergreen violet, western trillium, dull-leaved Oregon grape, red huckleberry, evergreen huckleberry, mainthemum: M. dilatatum, M. stellatum, M. racemosum, miners' lettuce, Siberian miner's lettuce many other species found in more open areas are also OK in partial shade: fawn lily, Columbia lily, harebell Campanula rotundifolia, shooting star, Western buttercup, Pacific sanicle, purple sanicle, and even nooding onions would tolerate partial shade I can come up with more... but, hopefully this is a good start
Love this, thanks for sharing. I had the good fortune to visit them when their fields of golden paintbrush were in bloom. Incredible to see!
wonderful LittleSpaceCase, thrilled to hear
