Sustainable practices are the foundation of Midwest Groundcovers
These concepts can be observed daily at our facilities: Water Conservation-
• Irrigation runoff and rain water is captured in ponds located throughout the nurseries and used to irrigate plants in the growing areas
Recycling-
• Plastic covering of our hoop houses is reused for an average of 3 winters before they are recycled • Approximately 12 semi truck-loads of plastic are recycled in one season of our container recycling program • Nursery waste (clippings, graded plants) is composted and used in potting mixes or spread in local farm fields
Energy Conservation-
• 2,800 square feet of solar panels installed on the roof of our maintenance building generate enough energy to power approximately thirteen U.S. homes each year • Wood-burning furnaces are used to heat growing/propagation houses in winter

SUN RAIN GARDEN
A rain garden is a shallow flat depression, 4-8" deep, planted with native plants and/or other species that are adapted to the expected moisture conditions of the garden. They are located in the landscape to collect and hold rain water run-off from surrounding surfaces such as turf, pavement and roofs. Typically, rain gardens fill with water after a storm, which slowly soaks into the ground within 24 hours. Rain gardens are dry between rainfall events.

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Our Native Plant Commitment The use of native plants in designed landscapes and as integral components of storm water Best Management Practices, such as rain gardens, has become mainstream. Landscape designers now know it is possible to develop a plant palette that integrates native and ornamental plants, thus creating an environmentally sound plant community that is rich in beautiful color and texture throughout the seasons. Using more native species provides a number of benefits such as reduced need for fertilizers and pesticides, improved water conservation and enhanced wildlife habitat. Native plants are often far easier to grow since they are adapted to the climate and soils of our Great Lakes Midwest region. Perhaps most important, native plants provide vital habitat for birds and animals and the insects they feed on that is not provided by most introduced species used in today’s residential, commercial and institutional landscapes. Midwest Groundcovers supports the goal of improved biodiversity in our restored and designed landscapes as an important measure of improving the vitality and ecological health of our region. We welcome you to join us in appreciating and planting our native plant heritage!

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Native Plant Production Method & Commitment At all our production locations, we are committed to producing the highest quality product for each market we serve. Our native plant production begins with mycorrhizal fungi inoculation as we establish our seedlings. These fungi live symbiotically with the roots of plants and support more vigorous, resilient and natural root systems. Our 32 and 38 size plug trays are targeted at the conservation and restoration markets and are pruned for stronger root development and convenience in handling. The 10 flat and #1 sizes are targeted at garden centers, community plant sales, landscape and enhancement planting. Custom color labeling options are available for direct-to-public sales in these sizes. As we develop each of our production systems and facilities, water conservation is a priority. We invest extensively in water conservation structures and systems in our growing facilities. In addition, we are deeply committed to recycling materials in our production cycle, with a special emphasis on plastic products. To learn more about our plastics recycling program go to page 222. Midwest quality means more vigorous, more established native plants, which translates to greater success for your projects.
Let Us Custom Grow For Your Next Project We are pleased to work with you on a project-by-project basis to accommodate custom contract grows on specialized or larger projects. This approach is advisable for larger orders, when time permits, in order to guarantee plant availability at the time required. We provide quotes for custom contract grow orders for species that are not currently part of our product line, for seed in addition to plants, or to produce from site-collected seed as appropriate. For more information on custom contract grow orders see page 258 of Ordering Details and contact your sales representative to discuss your requirements. 80

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Native plants evolved in association with surrounding landscape conditions. Together these biotic and abiotic conditions are described as ecosystems. The species composition of these plant associations, or communities, is influenced by a variety of factors including soil type, soil moisture during the growing season and light level. The definitions used in our trade list and outlined below have been derived from the Chicago Wilderness Atlas of Biodiversity and the Biodiversity Recovery Plan. For more information, refer to http://www.chicagowilderness.org/resources/. Selecting plants that are commonly associated with the growing conditions that most closely approximate the conditions of your site will help guarantee the success of your installation. The plant associates listed on the following pages for these ecosystems have been referenced/confirmed with Swink & Wilhelm’s, Plants of the Chicago Region 1994 Edition and illinoiswildflowers.info. Plants of various wetland systems are included under the wet prairie category. Refer to the above references for more specific ecosystem information. Native Plant Community/ Ecosystems
Description (Soil Type & Characteristics, Location)
Dry Prairie
Less than 10% of a prairie community is covered by tree canopy, therefore the plants that grow in these communities thrive in full sun. Soils in dry prairie communities vary from fine-textured silt and clay loams to coarse-textured sandy loams and sandy or gravelly soils. All are well-drained and moisture conditions through the growing season are relatively dry.
Mesic Prairie
Full sun, less than 10% tree canopy; soil moisture is available throughout the growing season. Soil is comparable to a good garden soil.
Savanna
A wooded plant community with 10-50% tree canopy cover, dominated by grasses and sedges. Soils are typically fine-textured or sandy and transitional between prairie and woodland; conditions may be dry to mesic. The absence of both wet soils and fire promotes the presence of trees; full sun to partial shade.
Woodland
Shade to partial shade, 50-80% tree canopy cover but sufficient light to support the reproduction of tree canopy species and a woodland shrub and herbaceous layer. Typically has a higher population of spring ephemerals than a savanna. Soil moisture can be dry to wet-mesic. Mesic woodland soils typically are more fertile than dryer woodland communities and therefore have different characteristic species.
Wet Woodland
Found on the floodplain of rivers and streams. The plant community is shaped by the frequency and duration of the flooding and can be more open. Summer conditions may be dry and plants of dry and dry-mesic soils may succeed on slight rises. Full shade, 80% tree canopy cover.
Wet Prairie
Full sun, less than 10% tree canopy; surface water is typically present during the winter and spring and the soil is almost always saturated.

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Our Top Ten native plant lists have been selected for several reasons. All grow well in typical garden soils and are in proportion to an ornamental garden. The sun list provides bloom times from early summer (Penstemon, Zizia) to late fall (Symphyotrichum), and colors from golden yellow Coreopsis to pale pink Allium and Echinacea and magenta Dalea. Sporobolus heterolepis is a grass, beautiful in mass, turning gold in October. The shade garden is more subtle. Flowering species adapted to shade, such as Polemonium and Phlox, bloom in spring when the trees are starting to leaf out. Their lavender blooms look lovely with pink Geranium or yellow and orange Aquilegia. Asarum is a groundcover with a flower that hides beneath the leaves. Pair it with the nodding stems of Polygonatum with their white bell-like flowers followed by blue fruit or contrast it with Carex pensylvanica, which will spread to create a carpet and serve as living mulch. Eurybia divaricatus’ white flowers on dark stems in early fall contrast nicely with Sedum ternatum. Hardy, but with delicate foliage, Thalictrum is drought tolerant once established.

WHY ARE BOTANICAL NAMES CHANGING? Looking for a plant? Can’t seem to find it listed? That plant probably has a new name. And why? The usual reason for reclassification is that botanists and taxonomists are using modern techniques to more closely examine plants. The hoped-for end result is stability of names. Here are some changes to keep an eye out for: OLD BOTANIC NAME Aster azureus Aster divaricatus Aster ericoides Aster laevis Aster lateriflorus Aster linarifolius Aster macrophyllus Aster novae-angliae Aster oblongifolius Aster ptarmicoides Aster puniceus Aster sericeus Aster shortii Aster umbellatus Calamagrostis arundinacea var. brachytricha Carex glauca Cimicifuga simplex 'Brunette' Hystrix patula Eupatorium maculatum Eupatorium rugosum Festuca obtusa Panicum leibergii Scirpus acutus Scirpus fluviatilis Scirpus validus Solidago graminifolia Solidago ohioensis Solidago riddelli Solidago rigida 144
