Stylophorum diphyllum -Part to Full Shade– NA Native Woodland Wildflower
This attractive woodland wildflower will grow well in zones 4-8 in with little to no care in rich woodland soils. It can tolerate drier, sunnier sites with some care. Bright yellow showy flowers bloom in April, and are followed by attractive fuzzy seed pods. After seeds drop out of its large, hairy pods, Celandine Poppy will go dormant. Seedlings will readily emerge everywhere if fresh seed is scattered on the soil surface. There is also a European species known as Celandine Poppy that is somewhat weedy and invasive. The two can be differentiated by their seed pods: the European has smooth pods.

Symphytum x uplandicum -Full Sun to Part Shade– plant in a circle around the base of fruit trees to help them get established and to add nutrients
Considered a “dynamic accumulator,” comfrey has deep tap roots that mine the subsoil for minerals which it makes available to the tree when its leaves die or are slashed periodically throughout the growing season. Comfrey is a “must-have” for every permaculture garden or orchard. It is useful for herbal salves, a wonderful high-protein animal fodder, and attracts beneficial insects. Its leaves are high in nitrogen, and it is used by many organic gardeners as a compost activator. Planted in a ring around a young fruit tree, comfrey grows vigorously, spreads by clumping out and keeps out weeds when full sun is available under the tree (a living mulch). It will gradually die back as the tree gets bigger and casts more shade. We sometimes keep gallon pots of this on hand, but we prefer to sell it by the shovelful, which is a much better value. A shovelful is the same as the gallon pot price: $14
By the shovelful (5-10 divisions): $16
