By early summer, the plant will die back completely and the bulb will be easy to transplant. If you go this route, leave the pot in a sheltered place and water sparingly, so that you don't rot the bulb. For fall orders, you can expect what looks like a pot of dirt.

Bulbs can be fragile when they're actively growing in spring. So, either plant with care or keep it in its pot and wait until it dies back before planting. By early summer, the plant will die back completely and the bulb will be easy to transplant. If you go this route, leave the pot in a sheltered place and water sparingly, so that you don't rot the bulb. For fall orders, you can expect what looks like a pot of dirt.

It's an evergreen, looking its finest in the cooler months when it sports lush blue-green foliage. By late spring, it shoots up tan seed stalks 2-5’ tall, swaying in the wind, until the plant goes dormant to wait out the heat and drought of mid-summer. This bunchgrass was once a common component of Willamette Valley oak savannas, but is now overtaken by invasive weeds and has diminished to almost nothing. In this way, Roemer’s Fescue presents us with an important opportunity to bring part of Oregon’s ecological legacy back to our gardens. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edeciduous, perennial, grass or grass-like plant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize at maturity: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e12\" tall, 12-24\" wide (seed stalks 2-5' tall)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003efull sun\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoisture requirements: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edry to moist soil, prefers well-drained\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBloom time: \u003c\/b\u003en\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGrowth rate\/ease: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003emoderate growth rate, easy to grow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWildlife support: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003elike most native bunchgrasses, it provides excellent cover and nesting habitat for arthropods; l\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003earval host plant for the rare \u003ca title=\"Mardon Skipper Butterfly - California Native Plant Society\" href=\"https:\/\/calscape.org\/lep\/Polites-mardon-(Mardon-Skipper)?srchcr=sc65aae420692f7\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMardon Skipper\u003c\/a\u003e butterfly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNative habitat\/range: \u003c\/b\u003ef\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eound in meadows, grasslands, forest openings and upland prairies with \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edry to mesic rocky soils, at near sea-level to 1800m, from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBritish Columbia to California; mostly west of the Cascade crest. \u003c\/span\u003ePortland Plant List - yes.  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSpecial features \u0026amp; uses:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e evergreen; drought-tolerant; landscape uses include erosion control and as an \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eimportant component in the restoration of upland prairie and oak savanna\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGardening with Roemer’s Fescue: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eRoemer’s Fescue is ideal for dry sunny areas, meadowscapes and parking strips.

It is an excellent underplanting for drought adapted shrubs, especially on slopes where it can help stabilize the bank. In a water-conscious non-irrigated garden, it will follow its natural cycle, going completely cere, or dormant, in the summer. But, regular watering and good drainage can keep it luscious all summer long. It can spread by seed, volunteering itself in new locations making it perfect for the wilder, rather than manicured, areas of your garden.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credits 1-4: \"Festuca idahoensis\" by Matt Lavin is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 5: Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47753797501145,"sku":null,"price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/RomersFescue.png?v=1612381105"},{"product_id":"common-rush","title":"Common Rush","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"formula-bar\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv spellcheck=\"false\" id=\"t-formula-bar-input\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell-input\" role=\"combobox\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-autocomplete=\"list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"formula-bar\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv spellcheck=\"false\" id=\"t-formula-bar-input\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell-input\" role=\"combobox\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-autocomplete=\"list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eJuncus effusus ssp. pacificus (syn Juncus effusus var. pacificus)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePacific rush, also known as common rush or soft rush, is a hardy, evergreen wetland or raingarden plant that grows in large attractive clumps.

But, once established, it spreads aggressively by rhizomes and may form dense colonies, particularly in roadside ditches and other wild areas.

Its summer flowers are remarkably long-lasting, white-to-blush blooms standing gorgeously on hollyhock-like stems that are often tall enough to look you in the eye.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt is one of the absolute best butterfly plants in the Pacific Northwest and an abundant source of nectar for native bees and hummingbirds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e deciduous, perennial, herbaceous plant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize at maturity:\u003c\/b\u003e 24-60\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e tall (flower stalk, foliage much shorter), 8”-24\" wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e full sun, part sun\/part-shade\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoisture requirements: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edry to moist soil\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBloom time: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMay - August (June - August in the Portland Metro area)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGrowth rate\/ease:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e fast growing, easy to grow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWildlife support: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eflowers are a nectar source for adult butterflies and hummingbirds and a source of both pollen\/nectar for native bees and other insect pollinators, including being the \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eprimary pollen source for the rare native bee, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiadasia nigrifrons; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eoverall plant attracts and supports other beneficial and pest eating insects and is a caterpillar host plant and larval food source for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003emany butterflies including the Fender's blue (\u003cem\u003eI\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ecarioides fenderi\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003c\/span\u003eAmerican lady (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVanessa virginiensis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e), West Coast lady (V. annabella), painted lady (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eV. cardui\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e), checkered skipper (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePyrgus communis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e) and gray hairstreak (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStrymon melinus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNative habitat\/range: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003egrows in pastures, fields and along roadsides almost exclusively in the Willamette Valley.

The leaves and flowers of streambank lupine are visually very similar, just smaller, while the overall plant tends to be larger and branching in form, giving it an open, airy look. It also tolerates significantly drier soils, though deep and infrequent water in the summer months will prolong its blooms. It is exceptionally useful for erosion control as well as meadow restoration, with its nitrogen-fixing roots. The vegetation of this species can become quite woody and gnarled in the off-season. Many gardeners choose to cut it back in the fall or winter - however this will significantly diminish its habitat value. In Sparrowhawks garden, lupines that are front and center get cut back, while those in the foreground and backyard are left to live freely. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis species often behaves as a biennial: mostly vegetative the first year, with a few flowers, then displaying an impressive amount of blooms in the second year.

As a parasite, it needs to plug its root system into the roots of various hosts, extracting nutrients that supplement its growth - without entirely depleting the nutrients from the host plant. Known hosts include, but are not limited to, Roemer’s fescue, yarrow, Oregon sunshine, thimbleberry, and even some non-native weeds such as oxeye daisy. Plant paintbrush in the same hole as its host, trying to gently intermingle the roots. Or, cut back an established host already in your garden and carve a planting hole directly into the host crown. With this complicated host dependency, this plant can be challenging to establish. Consider buying in multiples to increase the chances of success. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 1: \"meadow paintbrush, Castilleja miniata subsp. miniata\" by Jim Morefield is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 2: \"Castilleja miniata\" by mmmavocado is licensed under CC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 3: \"meadow paintbrush, Castilleja miniata subsp. miniata\" by Jim Morefield is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 4: Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844017115353,"sku":null,"price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/28.png?v=1612247348"},{"product_id":"field-cluster-lily-ookaw","title":"Ookow (Bulbs)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDichelostemma congestum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e**PRODUCT NOTE - These bulbs will be available (in packs of 3) when you pick-up your plants in October.

Bulbs can be fragile when they're actively growing in spring. So, either plant with care or keep it in its pot and wait until it dies back before planting. By early summer, the plant will die back completely and the bulb will be easy to transplant. If you go this route, leave the pot in a sheltered place and water sparingly, so that you don't rot the bulb. For fall orders, you can expect what looks like a pot of dirt. The bulb inside may appear slightly shriveled, which is its normal, dormant fall look. Fall is generally considered an excellent time to plant bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHyacinth brodiaea grow well in moist to wet clay soils such as a meadow or rock garden, that are wet in the winter months but become bone dry basking in the summer sun.
