Salvia azurea (Blue Sage)
|
|
||||||||||||||
If you rub or brush against the leaves they will emit the aromatic smell typical of Salvia (Sage) species. It is also called Pitcher Sage or Azure Blue Sage.
Salvia lyrata (Lyre-leaved Sage)
|
|
||||||||||||||
Sanguinaria canadensis (Bloodroot)
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Bloodroot displays its beauty in 2 stages. Stunning white blossoms appear for a very short time early spring, emitting a wonderful fragrance that attracts many kinds of early-flying bees. At the flowering stage a light green leaf is wrapped around the stem of the flower. When the flower fades, the leaf opens in a very unique shape as large as 6" in diameter.
Satureja vulgaris (Wild Basil)

Sensitive Plant, Schrankia uncinata, prefers sunny, sandy sites. In the Mimosa family, its leaves fold when disturbed, hence its common name.
Scrophularia lanceolata (Early Figwort)

|
||||||||||||||||
Figworts are not known for their beauty, but are abundant in nectar! One of the best species for attracting butterflies, bees, other insects and birds!
Scrophularia marilandica (Late Figwort)

Senecio plattensis (Prairie Ragwort)
|
|
||||||||||||||
Also referred to as Packera plattensis or Prairie Groundsel.
Senna hebecarpa (Wild Senna)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We think Wild Senna deserves more recognition as a great choice for garden or restoration projects. Its lovely, bright yellow flowers attract many bees and butterflies. Autumn brings beautiful leaf colors and the formation of long black pods with seeds favored by larger birds like wild turkeys. A horizontal root system provides strength against winds, allowing the plant's stately (4-6') beauty to be appreciated even after the storm.
Senna marilandica (Maryland Senna)
|
|
||||||||||||||
It is very difficult to distinguish Maryland Senna from its relative, Wild Senna (Cassia herbecarpa) until the 2 species have ripe
seeds. The Wild Senna will readily open its pod and the seeds will fall
out, whereas the Maryland Senna seed pods will stay tightly closed.
Sicyos angulatus (Bur Cucumber)
|
|
||||||||||
Bur Cucumber is an annual vine; it completes its life cycle during one season but will re-seed.
Silene regia (Royal Catchfly)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Royal Catchfly is rare due to loss of prairie habitat and is endangered in some states. The bright red flowers attract Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds and Black Swallowtail butterflies.
Silene stellata (Starry Campion)
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Starry Campion is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant which reseeds itself; older plants sometimes sprout multiple stems from the deep taproot.
Silene virginica (Fire Pink)
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||
New! Fire Pink may also be called Scarlet Catchfly and it's these scarlet red
flowers that hummingbirds are attracted to. The sepals of the flowers
are sticky (like those of its cousin Silene regia, Royal Catchfly) to deter ants from climbing and feeding on the nectar.
Silphium integrifolium (Rosin Weed)
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||
Rosin Weed may be the best Silphium choice for a garden setting due to its shorter stature, ability to mature faster and tough stem that keeps it upright with little to no surrounding plant support.
Silphium laciniatum (Compass Plant)
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Compass Plant's name derived from the tendency of its flat leaves to orient themselves on a North-South axis.
Silphium perfoliatum (Cup Plant)
|
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cup Plant is hardy and strong, and very easy to identify because of the square stem and 'cup' leaves that hold water for birds, insects, and small mammals.
