PLANT LIST

Juniperus Norðîc™ Blue

Midwest's Scandinavian roots originate in the Nordic country of Denmark. Traditions from and characteristics of Nordic countries include saga stories, strength, vigor, durability, and of course, Vikings and their drive for adventure and discovery! Sharing some of these themes, Midwest has introduced three Norðîc™ plants, which are tough, practical and functional. These three plants were all discovered in Denmark, but we are on the lookout for how we can bring you more Norðîc™ plants, or highlight plants that demonstrate their strong characteristics. Cotoneaster Nordic Carpet® was introduced to Midwest in the early 1990's through Danish plant connections. A cultivar of Cotoneaster dammeri, Nordic Carpet® is an unusually low-growing semi-evergreen woody groundcover with glossy green leaves that turn bronze-green in fall. In the fall, small red berries follow white flowers from summer, making this a charming groundcover. Thuja x Norðîc™ Spire is a cross of T. plicata and T. standishii. Norðîc™ Spire was a selection by Danish nurseryman Anton Thomsen from the Forest Arboretum in Denmark. It was bred for improved resistance to blight. Another improvement, as the result of the breeding, is its strong central leader that prevents splitting. The sweeping branches and graceful habit of Norðîc™ Spire make this an attractive addition to any large landscape. Anton Thomsen was a long-time colleague and mentor of Peter Orum and our newest growing center in Virgil is named for him. Juniperus Norðîc™ Blue, formerly known as 'Blue Mountain', is a cultivar of Juniperus virginiana. Also a selection by Anton Thomsen, it was chosen for its strong disease resistance. This soft-needled juniper has a slightly arching branch habit and stunning persistent and bountiful gray-blue berries. It is a continuous favorite of our Midwest Team for durability and performance. Juniperus Norðîc™ Blue has been successfully propagated and grown in the Midwest landscape with little maintenance since the 1970's and is definitely a tried and true Norðîc™ plant.

We've added an exciting new feature to our website to help us grow our product line, but we need your help. Simply click on "Customer Plant Request Form" and complete the required information.

All plant inquiries are sent to our Inventory Planning & Purchasing Supervisor, where we will evaluate, test and trial requests. Unfortunately, not all plants that are suggested will be added to our product line. We want to make sure the plant you want is tried and true and the only way to do that is to make sure it succeeds in our gardens first.

CURRENT CROP PHOTO REQUEST

One of the advantages of logging into the website is being able to request current crop photos.

Once the picture has been uploaded to the website, you will receive an e-mail notifying you it has been posted with a link to view the image.

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Our Native Plant Commitment • Provide healthy, vigorous crops of local ecotype native plants (from within 90

miles of St. Charles, Illinois) to suit the needs of restorationists, conservationists, landscapers and home gardeners • Maintain a broad list of species in our plug line to provide diversity and to make these plants available to all market segments • Support improved biodiversity and the well-being of pollinators, birds and our region's wildlife by making native plants easily available to the greater Chicago and Midwest region • Partner with and support the work of our local conservation organizations who improve the ecological health of our region • Encourage and inspire the use of more native species in landscape designs • Be a resource for those curious about how to use native plants effectively, particularly in cultivated settings • Honor the legacy of The Natural Garden, Inc Using native species can provide benefits such as reduced need for fertilizers and pesticides, improved water conservation and enhanced habitat value. Native plants are adapted to the climate and soils of our Great Lakes Midwest region for optimal durability. They provide vital habitats for birds and animals and the insects they feed on. This food source is not provided by most introduced species used in today's residential, commercial and institutional landscapes. If you do not see a native species you are looking for, please ask us! Did you know we can custom grow? See page 71 for more information. Today, landscape designers know it is possible to create a plant palette that integrates native and introduced species, is environmentally sound as well as beautiful and filled with rich color and texture through the seasons. It can be challenging to understand which species are best suited for a project and which perform best in cultivated garden settings. Ask our capable staff and visit the Midwest Natural Garden display gardens for practical guidance and inspiration. We welcome you to join us in appreciating and planting our native plant heritage!

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Natural Garden Natives® is our premier local native plant line with species

genetically adapted to Illinois soil and climate conditions. Seed collection, propagation and production of Natural Garden Natives® in plug and pint sizes, are kept geographically separate at the Midwest Natural Garden facility from all other native plants grown at Midwest Groundcovers' nurseries. We work with regional native plant conservation and restoration partners to collect seed and rejuvenate our genetics, always selecting genetics that are from local populations. You can trust that the Natural Garden Natives® name assures that the plants you receive originate from known populations within the 90 mile genetic range of our production facility. Natural Garden Natives® are familiar to home owners and restoration ecologists who have shopped at The Natural Garden® over the last 60+ years. Our Natural Garden Natives® brand is promoted to home gardeners through our website, direct advertising and with the familiar name on the one gallon and pint pots and on the label. www.naturalgardennatives.com MIDWEST NATIVES refers to the common Midwestern native species that Midwest Groundcovers has grown from broader Midwest regional seed for more than twenty years. This includes Illinois, Wisconsin, eastern Iowa and southern Minnesota. You can identify these regional natives by noticing they do not include the Natural Garden Natives® name. www.midwestgroundcovers.com American Beauties Native Plants® is a groundbreaking program that offers proven solutions for garden centers, landscapers and home gardeners (See page 39 for the list of plants available in the program). American Beauties are native or cultivars of native plants selected for characteristics that not only provide beauty, but also benefit wildlife. Point-of-purchase materials are available to build displays that help direct customers and educate staff at the same time. Fact-filled tags help customers learn the basics about American Beauties. American Beauties Native Plants® is a great way to introduce people who are curious about native plants but are new to them and need a way to get started. www.abnativesplants.com

Pints are Perfect for Everyone!

In 2015, we began an experiment to see if there would be interest in flats of 10 pints of Natural Garden Natives® selections. It has been an extraordinary success! Midwest Groundcovers now offers more than 80 native species in pint size pots. The native pint program is ideal for garden centers, plant sales, re-wholesalers and small native garden projects. (See pages 24-25 for the list of plants available in the program.) They are also a great size substitute for more cost-conscious projects requiring a size just slightly larger than our smaller plug size.

NATIVE PLANT RESOURCE GUIDE Native plants evolved in association with their surrounding landscape conditions. Together these biotic and abiotic conditions are described as ecosystems. The plants that characterize each unique community are influenced by a variety of factors such as soil type, soil moisture and light level. The ecosystem definitions outlined below are derived from the Chicago Wilderness Atlas of Biodiversity and the Biodiversity Recovery Plan. www.chicagowilderness. org/?page=publicationsnew. Selecting plants that match the growing conditions of your site will help guarantee the success of your installation. Plants listed on the following pages and their associated ecosystems are referenced to Swink & Wilhelm's Plants of the Chicago Region, ed. 1994 and www.illinoiswildflowers.info. Plants of various wetland systems are included under the Wet Prairie and/or Emergent category. Use the above references for specific ecosystem information. Native Plant Community/ Ecosystems

Description (Soil Type & Characteristics, Location)

Emergent (E)

A type of plant that is typically found in a marsh, a wetland community where trees are absent and there is standing water most of the year. The depth of the water controls the types of plants that grow there. Emergent species are rooted in the underlying soils of the marsh and their stems rise above the water rather than float upon it.

Dry Prairie (DP) Short (3' or less) Tall (3' or more)

Less than 10% of a prairie is covered by tree canopy and plants that grow in these communities thrive in full sun. Dry Prairie soils vary from finetextured silt and clay loams to coarse-textured sandy loams and sandy or gravelly soils. All are well-drained; soil moisture through the growing season is relatively dry. Comparable to a constructed rain garden soil with poor drainage.

Mesic Prairie (MP)

Good soil moisture is available throughout the growing season. Soil is comparable to good garden soil.

Savanna (S)

A 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. Moisture may be dry to mesic. Full sun to partial shade. Comparable to some unenhanced garden soils or a shaded constructed rain garden.

Woodland (WL)

Shade to partial shade; 50-80% tree canopy cover but sufficient light to support shrub and herbaceous growth. Soil moisture can be dry to wet-mesic. Mesic woodland soils are typically more fertile than drier woodland communities and have different plant species. Typical shade garden conditions.

Wet Woodland (WW) Full shade; 80% tree canopy cover. Found in river and stream flood plains. The plant community is shaped by flooding duration and frequency and can be more open. Summer conditions may be dry; Savanna and woodland plants of dry or dry-mesic soils may succeed on slight rises. Wet Prairie (WP) 74

Surface water is typically present during the winter and spring. The soil is almost always saturated.

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? Using modern techniques, botanists and taxonomists have the ability to more closely examine plants for reclassification. The hoped-for end result is stability of names. Here are some changes to keep an eye out for: OLD BOTANIC NAME Actinomeris alternifolia 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 Baptisia leucophaea Cacalia atriplicifolia Cacalia suaveolens Campanula americana Dicentra spectabalis spp. Eupatorium maculatum Eupatorium purpureum Eupatorium rugosum Gillenia trifoliata Smilacina racemosa Scirpus acutus Scirpus pungens Scirpus fluviatilis Scirpus tabernaemontani Solidago graminifolia Solidago ohioensis Solidago riddelli 196

ORDERING DETAILS & POLICIES EARNED VOLUME DISCOUNT (EVD) is a discretionary discount program for Garden Centers, Landscape Contractors, Horticultural Re-Wholesalers and Nurseries. Current year discount is based equally on payment history and previous year purchases. To qualify for the EVD program, terms are 2% 10, net 30 or COD; no extended terms are offered to EVD program customers. To maintain an EVD, we require the account to be paid current throughout the entire year. If the account becomes overdue, the EVD is removed. Removed EVDs are not automatically reinstated when payment is current. Midwest Groundcovers LLC reserves the right to cancel or modify the program at any time. 2017 PURCHASE VOLUME 2018 EVD $10,000 4% $20,000 6% $30,000 8% $40,000 10% $50,000 12% $80,000 13% $110,000 14% $140,000 15% $170,000 16% $200,000 17% $230,000 18% $260,000 19% $300,000 20% PICK-UP ORDERS: • Prices printed in the 2018 catalog are picked-up prices from the St. Charles Sales Yard / FOB St. Charles. • When placing an order, please state the date for pick-up, which may be up to 30 days from the date of order placement. • Orders placed 24 hours in advance are given top priority.

MIDWEST GIVES BACK

Midwest Groundcovers proudly supports green industry organizations and our partners, as well as the community, by giving back with in-kind donations toward beautification projects. These community entities include local social service agencies, schools, non-profit foundations and Eagle and other scout groups.

In 2017, Midwest Groundcovers donated several Natural Garden NativesÂŽ plants to Graymont Grade School. Shelly, one of their grade school teachers, has been working with her students for the last 2 years on creating a monarch way-station/butterfly/hummingbird garden. Their goal was to use all native plants to provide a habitat for pollinators. The students researched pollinator plants and came up with a list of their favorites. Midwest Groundcovers was excited to help make their pollinator garden dreams come true!
