While it does have a deserved reputation for being thicket forming, this tendency can be mitigated by greatly reducing the water it has access to. Much of it&#39;s aggressive growth occurs in bogs and wetlands where it has access to year around water. Despite being a plant of wet places, this plant is capable of growing in full sun, in the height of baking summer heat in the PNW without irrigation. Douglas Spirea is tolerant of many soil types and is just as happy to grow in part shade as it is in full sun. It&#39;s an excellent plant for rain gardens, hedges, fencelines, along roadways, and neglected corners where you want something nice to look at. </p><p>I have a couple planted with a few young Scouler&#39;s Willows in a section of pasture that used to turn into a flowing stream each Winter. They have effectively stopped the water run-off. Now the water pools for a short time, and is able to soak into the soil in place! This is a location that bakes in the summer heat every summer, and they don&#39;t even flinch.</p><p>Bumblebees adore their fuzzy pink flowers. Song birds love it for it&#39;s seed in the Fall and the cover it offers through the rest of the year. And, it&#39;s a butterfly host plant for Lorquin&#39;s Admiral, Spring Azure, and quite a few moth species, in addition to, providing nectar to butterflies. I&#39;ve even seen hummingbirds feeding from the flowers!</p><p>Because the seeds are so small (like elongated dust) it is impossible to count out individual seeds and are instead sold in weight increments of 40mg (200+ seeds) and germination instructions are included.</p><p><strong>Douglas Spirea at a glance</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Average growth dimensions</strong> - 2-8 ft tall x 3-8 ft wide</li><li><strong>Dormancy</strong> - Winter dormant</li><li><strong>Plant type</strong> - Native shrub</li><li><strong>Sun</strong> - Full sun - part shade</li><li><strong>Water</strong> - Wet - dry</li><li><strong>Flowering time</strong> - June - September</li><li><strong>Flower color</strong> - Purplish-pink </li><li><strong>Soil preference</strong> - Highly adaptable</li></ul><p></p> 5.75 USD https://www.sleepycatnatives.com/product/douglas-spirea-spiraea-douglasii https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422900877/Douglas+spiraea+and+flying+bumblebee.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422900883/Douglas+Spriaea+backlit+by+the+setting+sun.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422900910/Douglas+spirea+flower+and+buds.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422900913/Big+Douglas+Spiraea.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422900925/Douglas+Spiraea+thicket+moist+grove.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422900928/Douglas+spirea+seeds.jpg 118785741 new in stock 118391442 Gardener's Hand Salve (Yarrow & Gumweed infused Olive Oil Hand Salve) <p>I&#39;ve been making this wonderful salve for a couple of years now to moisturize my hands when they get chapped and dried from working in the soil, in addition to the seasonal drying that seems to happen every year when Fall gives way to Winter and my knuckles inevitably begin to crack. After trying over the counter products too numerous to count I gave up and decided to try to make my own. Much to my surprise, this lovely salve works where so many others have failed me.</p><p>This salve is a blend of olive oil infused with Yarrow, Willamette Valley Gumweed, and English Lavender with shea butter and beeswax. It has a lovely Lavender &amp; beeswax-honey aroma. </p><p>The consistency is a tad firmer than many salves on the market - closer to a soft wax. Scrap it with your nail and smooth it over patches of dry skin and Winter skin splits. The firmer consistency will help the salve stay where you want it to - reducing the likelihood of it running off or smearing on clothing. If you need it to be firmer it can be cooled in the fridge.</p><p>One heads up when using:</p><p>Yarrow is known to be toxic to cats and dogs. Don&#39;t let your furry friend lick this salve and refrain from petting while the salve is fresh on your skin. I use this salve as part of my bedtime routine (when the cats are curled at the end of the bed) and let sleep aid the salve&#39;s soothing moisture mojo!</p><p>Returns: Due to the nature of the product, we cannot accept returns, but please reach out if you experience any issues.</p> 9.50 USD https://www.sleepycatnatives.com/product/gardeners-hand-salve-yarrow-gumweed-infused-olive-oil-hand-salve https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421563984/Two+salve+sizes.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421563990/Salve+ingredient+pose+pic.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421563993/Brightened+salve+pic.jpg 118391442 new in stock 118391388 Large-Flowered Collomia (Collomia grandiflora) <p>Oregon is home to so many showy native annual wildflowers and Large-Flowered Collomia is no exception!

It is very easy to grow in the native home garden. In the Spring it is bedecked in big clusters of white flowers that later become clusters of little red berries. These red berries are edible when cooked (toxic to humans when raw), but are better suited as food for birds and other wildlife. Red Elderberry shrubs grow quickly and make beautiful living screens, large hedges, and lovely focal points for garden beds.</p><p>This beautiful shrub is commonly found on riparian forest edges and prefers a bit of moisture. However, as birds eat the berries and distribute the consumed seeds, they can also be found upland in drier regions such as the dry shade beneath trees. They can be found in vernally wet meadows that dry out through the summer, and have evolved some drought adaption once established. They can grow in full sun to full shade. Generally they need more moisture as their sun exposure increases. They tend to flower more in full sun leading to a bigger berry production. They grow better in clay rather than sandy soils. </p><p>Red Elderberry flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees. They are a host plant for 37 species of butterflies and moths including the Echo Azure Butterfly. The stems are hollow which provide nesting cavities for native bees including mason bees. They&#39;re an important food source for quite a few mammals including bear, deer, and elk. And, of course, they are loved by song birds who use the shrub for cover, nesting, and food. Elderberry seeds are some of the native seeds that benefit from summer sowing.

Blue Elderberry, like the Red Elderberry, is beloved by wildlife of all kinds. Song birds value it for the abundance of insects drawn to it Spring through early Summer, followed by the delicious berries beginning in late Summer until they&#39;re all gone. Blue and Red Elderberry bushes are very complementary in the garden setting. Red Elderberry blooms easily a month earlier than the Blue, extending their beautiful flower show.</p><p>Elderberry&#39;s tend grow rapidly. It&#39;s not uncommon for a one gallon plant to reach heights of 10-15 feet in a couple of years. On the West Coast they are also surprisingly drought tolerant once established. While Red Elderberry&#39;s tend to be found most commonly along shady forest edges and riparian environments, the Blue Elderberry is most often found inland/ upland growing on cliffs, hills, roadsides, and sunny forest edges. Blue Elderberry can tolerate regular garden water as long as the soil is well draining, but it doesn&#39;t require it once established. Blue Elderberry can reach 10-30 ft in height x 10-30 ft wide in its maturity, and makes a wonderful shade tree for small yards.

When this bush flowers you see all of the bugs - bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, flies, wasps, etc. It&#39;s very popular with song birds as well! Song birds love to hide in the dense cover of Coyote Bush, and because it attracts a ridiculous number of insects it is also an excellent source of natural bird food. This wonderful bush is deer resistant, fire resistant, flood resistant (mine survived 3wks of standing water), and highly drought resistant. Plant your seedlings in the fall and let nature&#39;s winter rains do the rest.</p><p>Coyote Bush is dioecious, meaning there are both male and female plants. When you find Coyote Bush available for sale in a nursery ~99% of the time the plant will be male (flowers are small, stubby-round little yellowish sorta pill shaped flowers). The female flowers are more elongated/ pointed and white. Later in the season the female flowers will form beautiful fluffy seed heads that adorn the plant through the winter.

They have extremely showy pink, drooping flowers that are very attractive to bees. Their foliage tends remains after the flowers have faded until around late Summer when they finally go dormant. They are a true onion and are edible by humans though they are described as having a stronger onion flavor than your typical garden onion. The leaves also can be used similar to chives or green onions. Their strong onion flavor makes them unappealing to most animals, so they are a great addition to gardens with high deer pressure! It&#39;s also the host plant for Hairstreak Butterflies.</p><p>Nodding Onions are great additions for many locations in the garden such as rock gardens, fencelines, road sides and tucked in between other garden perennials! They are very drought tolerant once established. When happy they will spread in to little colonies via bulb reproduction and self sowing.

It has dark green, rounded, thick leathery leaves that are prized in the florist trade. Pretty pink-white urn shaped flowers that appear in late Spring and continue through Summer. These cute flowers mature into edible tasty berries that can be eaten fresh or made into jams, jellies, and cakes etc. Flowering often continues even after the bush is heavy with ripe berries! Salal is easy to grow in the home garden, but it is slow and requires patience. Once established to its satisfaction Salal&#39;s growth rate will pickup substantially growing up to 6 feet tall in shade - part shade and often as wide or wider. It spreads out via rhizomes and makes a great ground cover. Salal prefers shade - part shade and moist to dry soil. It can tolerate full sun with occasional irrigation, though it may experience some sunburn periodically. In full sun Salal generally only grows to ~3 feet tall.</p><p>Salal supports a wide range of wildlife and pollinators. Hummingbirds, bees and butterflies feed from the flowers. Song birds and a wide array of mammals relish the berries and deer, elk, and beaver enjoy the foliage. Salal is excellent for erosion control and grows wonderfully with other understory plants like Oregon Grape, Vine Maple, Oregon Oxalis, and Sword Fern etc. </p><p>Because the seeds are so small it&#39;s impossible to count out individual seeds and are instead sold in weight increments of 50mg (150+ seeds) and germination instructions are included.</p><p><strong>Salal at a glance</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Ave. growth dimensions </strong>- 1-7 feet tall x 3-12 feet wide</li><li><strong>Dormancy</strong> - Evergreen</li><li><strong>Plant type</strong> - Shrub</li><li><strong>Sun</strong> - Part shade - full shade (can tolerate full sun with irrigation though might experience some sunburn in summer heat spells)</li><li><strong>Water</strong> - Moist - dry  (more moisture if in full sun, especially in summer drought)</li><li><strong>Flowering time</strong> - April - July</li><li><strong>Flower color</strong> - Pretty pink - white bell shaped flowers</li><li><strong>Soil preference</strong> - Will tolerate clay, prefers soil rich in organic matter (loamy forest floors)</li></ul><p></p> 5.75 USD https://www.sleepycatnatives.com/product/salal-gaultheria-shallon https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421354668/Salal+berries+and+foliage.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421354650/Salal+flower+very+close.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421354680/Salal+with+house+in+background.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421354638/Salal+on+the+coast.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421354698/Salal+seedlings+growing+from+a+wooden+fence+post+side+view.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422899548/Salal+seeds.jpg 118337361 new in stock 118337139 Bolander's Phacelia (Phacelia bolanderi) <p>Bolander&#39;s Phacelia is one of those rare perennial bumblebee plants for the shady-dry part of your yard!

Their sublime flavor has inspired the food industry&#39;s attempted re-creation in numerous processed foods. The one that I immediately thought of while trail snacking on my first Blackcaps was Frankenberry (even if Frankenberry is supposed to be strawberry). While thorny, it has lovely and delicate looking leaves and each cane is covered with a gorgeous white-green bark. Unfortunately, this year I failed to get photos of the pretty white flowers or the dark purple-red fruit of this lovely bramble. By the time I got back to the little thicket the berries not picked off by the wildlife had dried out and shriveled. These fruits are loved by the wildlife! Birds, bears, and little mammals adore these fruits so much that it was difficult to locate berries to photograph.</p><p>Blackcap&#39;s can grow in full sun to part shade. They&#39;re pretty drought tolerant once established, but appreciate moisture in well draining soil. Many of the Blackcap plants I saw while hiking were growing in the full sun of a few clear cuts, and sprawling/trellising on woody slash piles. I expect this discarded clear cut wood was acting as nurse logs for the brambles. Growing conditions that can easily be duplicated in the home garden with wood chips, piled branch clippings, or even a stump from a removed tree (drill the stump and turn it into a planter!). </p><p>Each packet contains 75 seeds and germination instructions are included.</p><p><strong>Blackcap Raspberry at a glance</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Ave. growth dimensions</strong> - Arching/trailing 6 feet tall x 3+ feet wide</li><li><strong>Dormancy</strong> - Winter deciduous</li><li><strong>Plant type</strong> - Shrub</li><li><strong>Sun</strong> - Sun - shade</li><li><strong>Water</strong> - Moisture loving, though drought tolerant (heavily mulched with wood chips would be beneficial)</li><li><strong>Flowering time</strong> - April - May</li><li><strong>Flower color</strong> - White- very light pink</li><li><strong>Soil preference</strong> - Sand, clay, and soils with poor drainage</li></ul><p></p> 5.75 USD https://www.sleepycatnatives.com/product/blackcap-raspberry-rubus-leucodermis https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421353663/Blackcap+Raspberry+bramble+closer+up.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421353666/Blackcap+raspberry+brambles+growing+in+a+clear+cut.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421353669/Blackcap+raspberry+bramble+growing+in+the+shade+of+big+leaf+maple.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421353678/Blackcap+raspberry+upright+bramble.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421353675/Dried+Blackcap+raspberries.jpg 118336989 new in stock 118327293 Lanceleaf Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris var. lanceolata) <p>This is the West Coast subspecies of this beautiful native groundcover! Lanceleaf Self Heal has longer and narrower leaves than the subspecies found elsewhere in the world. And, the flowers are MUCH bigger and showier! This little plant is extremely versatile, tolerating a lot of different growing conditions - wet, dry, full sun, part shade, clay, salt spray, invasive weeds with sharp elbows, and other aggressive natives! Lanceleaf Self Heal is a huge draw for native bees, butterflies, predatory flies, and native wasps. It&#39;s also the host plant for the Clouded Sulphur butterfly! It is fast growing and propagates via cutting very easily. At maturity, Lanceleaf Self Heal can reach 12-18 inches tall and 12 inches wide.</p><p>Move over clover, Lanceleaf Self Heal is a fantastic addition to any lawn substitution or ecolawn seed mix! In addition to being native, which Dutch Clover cannot claim, it holds its own against weeds and invasive pasture grass very well, blooms May-September, stays green without summer water, and takes mowing and foot traffic very well. </p><p>Lanceleaf Self Heal is a wonderful addition to oil infusions for skin products like salve and soaps.

Along the coast Seaside Daisy is very drought tolerant, only requiring what the rain provides. Inland, however, it appreciates occasional irrigation (1-2 times per month) once established.</p><p>Seaside Daisy flowers hardest in full sun, but can tolerate part shade.

Western Coltsfoot is commonly found growing along stream banks and in coastal zones where they benefit from frequent fog banks. Inland it prefers shade to part shade, but it can handle full sun along the coast. As it grows naturally along the coast, it is very salt tolerant. Western Coltsfoot flowers March-April, with flower stocks emerging before its leaves arrive. When flowers fade they become beautiful fluffy seed heads. Western Coltsfoot is Winter Deciduous.</p><p>Western Coltsfoot has a wide native range - stretching from Alaska to California, across Canada, Northern Europe, and Northern Asia.

Its range in Oregon and Washington is primarily East of the Cascade Range along seeps, creeks, and wet meadows. From there this beautiful wildflower&#39;s range extends to the Montana Rocky Mts. and South from California to New Mexico. Rydberg&#39;s Penstemon is a long lived wildflower loved by bees and hummingbirds for the rich nectar and song birds for the seeds!</p><p>West of the Cascades it might be the most adaptable Penstemon I have ever grown! As it prefers moist environments in its natural range, it is more tolerant of receiving water in the garden compared to most other Penstemons. In my NW Oregon garden, Rydberg&#39;s Penstemon is also pretty drought tolerant. My established plants are mulched heavily in wood chips and live almost entirely on rain water. They only receive supplemental water in the summer before big heatwaves.

Also as the name implies, this plant exudes a milky sap when cut that is toxic, yet gives the Monarch Caterpillar its poisonous protection from predators.</p><p>This plant is slow to grow from seed, and may take many years to reach flowering maturity (mine took 4 years) but the wait is well worth it!! Even if you live outside of the Monarch Butterfly migratory zone this plant is still worth growing. It&#39;s rich in nectar and attracts hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies (of course!).</p><p>Showy Milkweed can grow up to 48 inches tall and 36+ inches wide. It spreads horizontally via rhizomes and can form thick stands when happy. Best to give it some elbow room! Showy Milkweed grows best in full sun in dry-medium dry soil and is tolerant of many different soil types as long as they are well draining. It is Winter deciduous, turning a beautiful golden yellow through the Fall. Showy Milkweed takes its time to emerge in the Spring, so don&#39;t despair.

It&#39;s very showy, grows vigorously, is drought tolerant (in its maritime climate), and is deer resistant! It&#39;s thick, wide, sword-like leaves and evergreen nature make it an excellent ground cover. Douglas Iris can grow in full sun to deep shade, preferring heavier soils, and tolerating serpentine soil. This plant also tolerates salt spray and wind! Each flower stock often sports 2-3 flowers and flower color can range from deep purple to a light violet-blue, sometimes even white, pink or yellow! Plants generally grow 1-2 feet tall and 2-4 feet wide.</p><p>Douglas Iris self-sows when happy creating beautiful colonies that livestock and deer avoid. It hybridizes with other nearby native Irises leading to some very pretty flower colors in the Pacific Coast Iris family. Some natural crosses found in the wild are between Douglas Iris (Iris douglasiana) X Golden Iris (Iris innominata) and Douglas Iris (Iris douglasiana) X Oregon Iris (Iris tenax). Unlike Oregon Iris, Douglas Iris can be divided successfully! The ideal time for division is late Winter-early Spring when the new growth is emerging. This is also the best way to propagate any neat natural hybrids you might find growing in your garden! </p><p>Douglas Iris is a fantastic plant for nearly any situation, from drainage ditch and rain garden, to the pasture and fenceline, to your shady woodland garden! </p><p>Each seed packet contains 60 seeds and germination instructions are included.</p><p><strong>Douglas Iris at a glance</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Ave. growth dimensions</strong> - 1-2 ft tall x 2-4 ft wide</li><li><strong>Dormancy</strong> - Evergreen</li><li><strong>Plant type</strong> - Perennial herb</li><li><strong>Sun</strong> - Full sun - deep shade</li><li><strong>Water</strong> - Low - moderate</li><li><strong>Flowering time</strong> - March - July in Oregon</li><li><strong>Soil preference</strong> - Heavy rich - poor</li></ul><p></p> 5.75 USD https://www.sleepycatnatives.com/product/douglas-iris-iris-douglasiana https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312782/Douglas+iris+blooming+with+oxalis.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312785/Douglas+Iris+and+Oregon+Oxalis.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312788/Douglas+Iris+with+oxalis+and+currant.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312824/Douglas+iris+fresh+Winter+growth.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312836/Snowy+Douglas+iris.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422899677/Douglas+Iris+seeds.jpg 118324935 new in stock 118324806 Western Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa) <p>While there are many cultivars of Bleeding Heart on the market, our own West Coast native Bleeding Heart is gorgeous. Beautiful heart shaped light pink flowers bob merrily above elegant fern like leaves. Our native species is well adapted to the very wet Winter-Springs and bone dry Summers of the West Coast. It thrives in shade gardens with the rich loam or clay soil commonly found in forests. Bleeding Heart can spread aggressively via rhizomes when happy, but it weaves in and around other woodland plants into a tapestry of textures and colors rather than growing over plant neighbors. This trait makes it an excellent ground cover for shady corners, woodland gardens, and under taller perennials and shrubs.</p><p>Bleeding Heart prefers moist soil, but once established it is quite drought tolerant. It also has adapted a summer dormancy when moisture is scarce. Just like our other Spring ephemerals, when Bleeding Heart goes dormant it disappears from sight until the rains return in the Fall.</p><p>Each seed packet contains 30 seeds and germination instructions are included.</p><p><strong>Western Bleeding Heart at a glance</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Average growth dimensions</strong> - 8-19 inches tall x 2+ wide</li><li><strong>Dormancy</strong> - Winter Deciduous / summer deciduous (drought adaptation)</li><li><strong>Plant type</strong> - Perennial herb</li><li><strong>Sun</strong> - Part shade - shade</li><li><strong>Water</strong> - Moist - dry</li><li><strong>Flowering time</strong> - March - August (with regular irrigation) </li><li><strong>Flower color</strong> - Light pink - pink</li><li><strong>Soil preference</strong> - Adaptable, but prefers soil rich in organic matter (loamy forest floors) </li></ul><p></p> 5.75 USD https://www.sleepycatnatives.com/product/western-bleeding-heart-dicentra-formosa https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312530/Bleeding+hear+flower+cluster.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423088002/Bleeding+heart+at+the+base+of+a+tree.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312539/Bleeding+heart+flower2.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312584/Bleeding+heart+with+shooting+stars+fresh+blooms.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312560/Bleeding+heart+oxalis+bed.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423087996/Bleeding+heart+in+full+bloom+at+Sauvie.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/421312659/Bleeding+heart+and+bumble+2.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/422899695/Bleeding+heart+seeds.jpg 118324806 new out of stock 118324647 Slender Cinquefoil (Potentilla gracilis) <p>Slender Cinquefoil is a pretty and tough little native in the rose family. It&#39;s beautiful, delicate looking yellow flowers attract loads of pollinators from syrphid flies, to butterflies, and clouds of tiny native bees! It&#39;s a host plant for the Purplish Copper and the Two-Banded Checker Skipper butterflies, as well as, the Strawberry Crown moth.</p><p>Slender Cinquefoil is very easy to start from seed, is extremely forgiving in the garden, and is very long lived. It can take quite a lot of abuse and continue to grow happily. It can tolerate a wide variety of growing conditions and soils including full to part sun, seasonal flooding, drought, weed competition, clay, gravel, etc. Water to establish the first season then let it go with seasonal rainfall. Slender Cinquefoil makes a lovely ground cover for 3+ seasons, only really dying back after a few hard Winter freezes, then quickly bouncing back once again! Most of the year it grows in a pretty, neat little mound ~1 ft tall x 1.5 ft wide. While in bloom it can rise up to ~2 ft tall with an open airy flower habit.</p><p>In NW Oregon, Slender Cinquefoil begins to bloom around the end of May and continues to bloom into July.

An Oregon State University study looking at native plants and native pollinators found that Douglas Aster attracted the highest diversity of visiting bee species, as well as, the highest abundance of visiting bees compared to the other native flowers in the study. What a valuable pollinator plant!!</p><p>It can tolerate nearly any environmental condition - wet, dry, full sun, part shade, clay, salt spray, invasive weeds with sharp elbows, and other aggressive natives! It can be a bit of a thug in the garden making it best for the back of a flower bed or in a wilder garden patch. It blooms from August until frost and is very complimentary when grown with Golden Rod, which blooms around the same time. Size can very greatly.
