We hit our first plant sale today sponsored by South St. Paul Garden Club. Lots of hostas and daylilies without names or color which I did not want to take a chance on. But I did find the following all for ten bucks.
- Tall Phlox unknown variety and color
- Two Lamium, Spotted Dead Nettle plants
- Hardy Geranium
- Two more bleeding hearts
- Chinese Wild Ginger
- A couple of bell flowers
The most interesting find was Chinese Wild Ginger although possible a zone 5 plant.
This rare Chinese species forms a clump of glossy, arrowhead-shaped green leaves. Flowers are the largest in the genus, a strange combination of creamy-yellow with brownish purple spots. Plants must have a humus-rich soil and regular moisture through the summer months. Size: 6" high by 12" wide.
