Grey goldenrod in full bloom, with many small golden-yellow flowers arranged in arching panicles above grey-green foliage. The image presents the natural form of Solidago nemoralis, a native perennial suited to sun or partial shade and dry, lean, well-drained soil. The panicles curve over the grey-green leaves rather than forming a compact, evenly shaped mass of flowers.

Mature seaside plantain in its growing environment, with a rosette of dark-green, narrow, lance-shaped leaves and upright stems bearing small flower spikes. This view shows the compact form of Plantago maritima, a native perennial adapted to sun, draining soil and saline conditions. Seaside plantain forms a rosette of slender leaves rather than a broad, spreading display of foliage.

Upland white goldenrod in bloom, a native perennial with white flowers. It differs from the familiar golden-flowered members of the genus through its white blooms with yellow centres. Flattened flower clusters stand above narrow, silvery-green leaves. Give the plants an open, bright position where neighbouring vegetation does not cast too much shade over their foliage and flower display.

Common hops, a climbing plant with green foliage. Hops provides a seasonal screen: long stems cover a support in summer, then die back with frost. The perennial crown remains in the ground and sends up fresh growth in spring. This seasonal pattern should guide the choice of position, particularly where the planting is also expected to provide privacy during winter.

Marsh marigold in bloom, a wetland plant with yellow flowers. Its yellow blooms announce spring above shiny leaves shaped like hearts or kidneys. The low outline suits the front of a moist planting, beside a pond or in a rain garden where the soil does not dry out completely, keeping the spring flowers visible within their wetland setting.

Canadian burnet flowering, a native perennial with white flower spikes. Creamy-white spikes rise above finely toothed foliage. The blooms progress along each spike, giving shoreline scenes a light texture rather than a compact floral mass. A position towards the back of a moist border keeps the flowering stems visible without concealing the smaller plants growing in front of them.

Common evening primrose in bloom, with large yellow flowers. It first forms a rosette, then develops tall stems whose yellow flowers open towards the end of the day. This sequence explains why a young plant may remain low before flowering. Reserve space where the stems of the second season will not conceal the smaller neighbouring plants as they rise.

Gros plan de la véronique de Virginie, Veronicastrum virginicum, montrant plusieurs longs épis de fleurs blanches. De fines étamines dépassent des petites corolles ouvertes, tandis que des boutons verts occupent encore le sommet des épis. Un insecte est posé sur les fleurs au centre de l’image. Les hampes se détachent d’un arrière-plan végétal vert et flou.

Mountain holly, a native shrub with green foliage and ornamental fruits. Its soft-green deciduous leaves turn yellow in fall. The small spring flowers remain discreet; red fruits provide another feature, but appear on female plants with appropriate pollination. A seed batch can therefore produce shrubs of both sexes, rather than a group in which every individual will bear red fruit.

Eastern white cedar, a native conifer with green evergreen foliage. Its scale-like evergreen leaves cover the flattened branches throughout the changing seasons. The young conical outline broadens with age, distinguishing a seed-grown tree from some regularly clipped hedges. Plan its long-term position before planting. The foliage shelters wildlife and may be browsed by deer in winter, so describing the tree as guaranteed to resist browsing would be misleading.

Common snowberry with its decorative white berries. The rounded white fruits develop after the small pinkish flowers that appear in early summer. Flexible branches and deciduous foliage suit informal hedges and naturalistic edges. Some birds can feed on the berries, but they are mildly toxic to people. Their ornamental appearance should therefore be understood as a visual feature, rather than an invitation to eat them.

Fragrant sumac, a native shrub with dense foliage. Leaves consist of three leaflets, while suckers gradually create a spreading mass. Red-orange fall colours and hairy red fruits bring interest to a slope or dry edge. Because the species is dioecious, fruit production requires female shrubs with appropriate pollination, rather than simply planting any single seed-grown specimen in the garden.

Northern sweetvetch flowering in a natural setting. Upright clumps carry compound leaves and clusters ranging from purplish pink to purple. Flat, segmented pods follow the flowers, providing another feature to observe in this member of the Fabaceae family. Its character suits open, draining sites where bees can visit the flower clusters among the upright stems and foliage.

Black-eyed Susan in flower, with yellow petals and dark centres. Yellow blooms surround prominent brown centres, giving flowering meadows and summer borders a clear, familiar floral shape. The species may be short-lived or behave as a biennial. Spontaneous seedlings can then help renew the planting as older specimens disappear, contributing to the continuing presence of the summer flower display.

American bur-reed, a native aquatic plant with upright foliage. Ribbon-like leaves and globular fruits give aquatic scenes a distinctive appearance. This perennial of saturated ground forms stands rather than a small rock-garden clump. Reserve a wet pond area or shoreline position for it, with enough access to observe the progress and expansion of the developing waterside planting.

Swamp rose in bloom, a native rose adapted to wetland settings. Simple pink flowers grow on a shrub of moist habitats. Deciduous foliage and rose hips provide interest that changes with the seasons. Thorny stems require a position where people moving through the garden will not continually brush against the branches, leaving the shrub room beside routes used for circulation.

Smooth wild rose in bloom, a hardy native shrub with delicate pink flowers and decorative rose hips. Flowering runs from June to August. Fewer thorns than many wild roses make it easier to include near frequently used areas. Red rose hips extend ornamental interest into fall and add ecological value to the planting after the pink flowers have finished their seasonal display.

Common hackberry, a native tree with green foliage. Celtis occidentalis is a large, hardy species with a rounded crown and distinctive bark. It tolerates urban conditions, provides lasting shade and produces small fruit used by wildlife. Its toughness, longevity and ecological role give the tree several points of interest, combining the substantial crown with bark texture and seasonal fruit in a spacious landscape.

Wet meadow wildflower seed mix composed of native plants for moist to wet ground. Wildflowers, grasses and herbaceous species combine in a planting adapted to moist, wet or temporarily waterlogged soil. Their varied composition forms a natural meadow whose heights, textures and colours change through the seasons, giving the site a living plant community rather than an unchanging display of one species.

Riparian wildflower seed mix for shoreline habitat. Wildflowers, grasses and plants adapted to moist to wet soil create a natural meadow with successive colourful blooms from June to October. The selected species gradually develop a dense root network that helps retain soil, contributing to the ecological quality of riparian buffers as the plant community becomes established along the bank over successive growing seasons.

Scottish lovage, a hardy northern perennial herb with green foliage. Ligusticum scoticum has glossy, dark green, fragrant leaves with an aroma recalling celery. It prefers full sun and light soil that stays moist to moderately dry while draining reliably. Its aromatic foliage contributes to the character of the herb, with suitable drainage remaining important even where the ground retains some moisture.

Sneezeweed in bloom, a native perennial with abundant yellow flowers from late summer into fall. Suited to moist to wet soil, it supports pollinators and fits rain gardens. Its natural outline works particularly well in grouped plantings and landscapes inspired by wet meadows. Flowering takes place from July to October, extending the yellow display towards the later part of the growing season.

White snakeroot in bloom, a native perennial with late white flower clusters. Its partial-shade planting brightens woodland areas and provides a late-season resource for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Hardy plants pass through Quebec winters and gradually form natural colonies where conditions are suitable. The white blooms extend the shaded garden’s seasonal interest as the colony becomes established within its woodland setting over time.

White spruce (Picea glauca), a native conifer with evergreen foliage and a pyramidal outline. This very hardy tree is offered as seed for garden cultivation. Its lasting crown provides wildlife cover and gives structure to reforestation plantings, natural screens and windbreaks. The green to blue-green needles and dense branching form remain ornamental through the changing seasons of a northern landscape.
