Geum triflorum (Prairie Smoke)
The silky, flowing styles of the fruiting stage of Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum), never fail to win admirers at first sight.  When setting seed, large stands of the plant create a gauzy effect that resembles smoke hovering close to the ground.  Blooming in spring to early summer, Prairie Smoke will spread slowly from its roots in well-drained, dry to wet-mesic soils.  It prefers full to partial sun and has a native range from the northern tier of the US through most of Canada thus growing well in zones 3-9.

Bird's Foot Violet matures to just 3" in height and has purple flowers with orange centers. The leaves are shaped like bird's feet. This Violet is a bit more fussy than others, but is a very sought-after native Violet and is well worth the trouble!
