American Alumroot (Heuchera americana)

•Native perennial
•Soil-Medium
•Full Sun to Partial Shade
•Grows 1-2 ft tall
•Space 1 ft
•Blooms green & white, May-June
•Attracts bees (including a specialist) and other pollinators
•Not favored by mammals

American Bellflower (Campanulastrum americanum)

• Native annual or biennial
• Soil-Medium-Wet to Medium to Medium-Dry
• Partial Shade to Shade
• Grows to 2-6 ft tall, spread 18-24 in, Root system- consists of a taproot
• Blooms blue, July-October
• Long-tongued bees are the primary pollinators of the flowers, including bumblebees and leaf-cutting bees. Other visitors of the flowers include Halictid bees, butterflies, and skippers. These insects seek nectar, and some of the bees collect pollen from the anthers. Syrphid flies may feed on the pollen, but they are not effective pollinators.
•Deer occasionally eat the flowers and foliage.

Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)

•Native perennial
•Soil-Dry to Moist, does well in clay soil
•Full to Partial Sun
•Grows 1-3 ft tall, spacing 1 ft
•Blooms yellow, June-September
•Host plant for Silvery Checkerspot butterfly
•The composite flowers appeal to a wide range of insects, particularly bees and flies, as well as some wasps, butterflies, and beetles. The bees collect pollen or suck nectar, and include Little Carpenter bees, Leaf-Cutting bees, Green Metallic and other Halictine bees, Andrenid bees, and others.
•Many mammalian herbivores are not particularly fond of the coarse leaves – they have low food value, and there have been occasional reports of this plant poisoning cattle and pigs. The seeds are eaten occasionally by goldfinches

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

• Native perennial, ephemeral
• Soil- Medium-Wet to Medium to Medium-Dry, needs rich, humus woodland
• Partial Sun to Shade, need access to sun to bloom
• Grows 3-12” tall, Spacing 6”-10”
• Blooms White, April-May
• The pollen of the flowers attracts various kinds of bees, including honeybees, bumblebees, little carpenter bees, Halictid bees, and Andrenid bees. Other insects that visit the flowers include Syrphid flies and beetles, which feed on the pollen (or search vainly for nectar). An aphid, sucks plant juices from the leaf undersides. The seeds of Bloodroot are distributed by ants because of their fleshy appendages. This is a common method of seed distribution for woodland wildflowers, as wind speeds are greatly reduced in wooded areas. The foliage and rhizomes contain an acrid reddish juice and they are toxic. Consequently, this plant is not often eaten by mammalian herbivores, although White-Tailed Deer browse sparingly on the succulent leaves.
