Norðîc

Durable Hardy Functional

PHONE 847.742.1790 • FAX 847.742.2655

Midwest's Scandinavian roots originate in the Nordic country of Denmark. Nordic traditions include Nordic sagas with tales of Vikings and their drive to explore. Nordic characteristics include strength, vigor, durability and the desire to survive and thrive. Sharing these themes, Midwest is proud to introduce Norðîc™ plants. Discovered in Denmark, Norðîc™ plants are exceptionally hardy, durable and functional. They provide a strong element to any landscape design! Danish nurseryman Anton Thomsen of the Forest Arboretum in Denmark, and of Thomsen's Planteskole, was a mentor and long-time colleague of Peter Orum. Anton was instrumental in our discovery of many Norðîc™ plants, and the newest growing center in our Virgil nursery is named for him. Norðîc™ Spire Arborvitae Thuja x Norðîc™ Spire is a cross of T. plicata and T. standishii and is a selection by Anton Thomsen. It was bred for improved resistance to blight. Another improvement, as a result of the breeding, is the strong central leader that resists splitting. The sweeping branches and graceful habit of Norðîc™ Spire make this an attractive addition to any large landscape. Norðîc™ Brabant Arborvitae Thuja occidentalis Norðîc™ Brabant was also selected by Anton Thomsen. It is full, well formed and grows into an attractive hedge within a few years of planting. It is vigorous and a bright green as compared to the more olive of some other Arborvitae selections. Norðîc™ Brabant forms a solid green screen and is resistant to opening and damage from snow and ice. It is a resilient and long lived Thuja. Norðîc™Blue Juniper 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 its durability and performance. Norðîc™ Blue Juniper has been successfully propagated and grown in the Midwest landscape with little maintenance since the 1970's, making it the definition of Norðîc™. Nordic Carpet® Cotoneaster 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. Its white flowers give way to small red berries in fall, making this a charming groundcover. WWW.MIDWESTGROUNDCOVERS.COM

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 restoration ecologists, conservationists, landscapers, and home gardeners Maintain a broad list of species in a variety of container sizes to provide diversity and availability to all market segments Support improved biodiversity and the well-being of pollinators, birds, and our region's wildlife by making native plants 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 many benefits such as a 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, animals, and 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 257 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 is 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. Our newest Midwest Natural Garden display garden, The Natural Garden Natives® Carex Classroom is designed to be a functional and educational cultivated space. The Classroom is planted with a variety of woodland and wetland sedges in a bed of soils that are rich in humus, as would be found in a rich mesic woodland. It is a somewhat experimental bed that will allow us (and you!) to better understand how wetland sedges perform outside of a wetland environment. We will be watching the progression of this garden and will be sharing our findings through the Natural Garden Natives® e-newsletter. To sign up for the e-newsletter, please visit naturalgardennatives.com. The Carex Classroom also provides a great opportunity to practice Carex identification and to witness how the Carex species grow and change through the seasons and over the years. The Carex Classroom includes mulched pathways and benches to sit on and is open during business hours for self-guided tours. Stop on by for a peaceful and educational experience!

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 occurs at the Midwest Natural Garden facility to keep it geographically separate from Midwest Groundcovers' other nurseries. This ensures there is no contamination by neonicotinoids, which can be used responsibly on occasion at our other sites. 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. We never use neonics at the Midwest Natural Garden facility so any Natural Garden Native® pint or plug size plant you purchase from us is guaranteed neonic free! Natural Garden Natives® are familiar to home gardeners 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 labels. 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 as they do not include the Natural Garden Natives® name on the pots or labels. www.midwestgroundcovers.com American Beauties Native Plants® is a branded native plant program that offers proven solutions for garden centers, landscapers, and home gardeners. American Beauties are native plants 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 but new to the world of native plants and are looking for a place to get started. www.abnativeplants.com

Pints are Perfect for Everyone!

Midwest Groundcovers now grows more than 80 native species in pint size pots. The native pint program is ideal for: • Garden Centers • Plant Sales • Re-Wholesalers • Small native garden projects • Size substitute for more cost-conscious projects 70

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 divaricatus Aster linarifolius Aster macrophyllus Aster ptarmicoides Aster umbellatus Baptisia leucantha Baptisia leucophaea Bolboschoenus fluviatilis Cacalia atriplicifolia Cacalia suaveolens Campanula americana Dicentra spectabalis spp. Eupatorium maculatum Eupatorium purpureum Eupatorium rugosum Gillenia trifoliata Scirpus acutus Scirpus pungens Scirpus validus Solidago graminifolia Solidago ohioensis Solidago riddelli

CORRECT BOTANIC NAME Verbesina alternifolia Eurybia divaricata Ionactis linariifolius Eurybia macrophylla Oligoneuron album Doellingeria umbellata Baptisia alba Baptisia bracteata var. leucophaea Scirpus fluviatilis Arnoglossum atriplicifolium Hasteola suaveolens Campanulastrum americanum Lamprocapnos spectabalis spp. Eupatoriadelphus maculatus Eutrochium purpureum Ageratina altissima Porteranthus trifoliatus Schoenoplectus acutus Schoenoplectus pungens Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani Euthamia graminifolia Oligoneuron ohioense Oligoneuron riddellii

FIFTY FUNDAMENTAL PLANTS Plants are at the heart of everything we do at Midwest. To help celebrate our 50 years of growing gorgeous plants, we decided to create a list of Fifty Fundamental Plants which help tell our story and represent our history, heritage, and involvement in diverse industry segments. Some of these plants tell our history and some take us into the future! Included within our Fifty Fundamental Plants is a special collection we have designated the Heritage Groundcover Collection. These groundcovers are some of the backbone plants on which our company began and continue to be staples in our production practices. Without this tried and true bunch, we likely wouldn’t be celebrating such a momentous anniversary this year! Each of these plants have been selected for a unique set of reasons, but all of them are functionally fantastic --- durable, beautiful, and capable plants, sure to sell and certain to perform. Look for the plants in the catalog with the symbol beside them to view all 50 of our selections. In addition, each week, we will feature one of them in our e-newsletters.

REFLECTIONS FROM THE FOUNDER ON THE OCCASION OF OUR 50TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY: To our Loyal Customers and Friends: If you had not bought our plants and our services, we would have had no mission - no reason for existence. To our Loyal and Diligent Employees: If you had not grown our plants and gotten them to the customers there would have been no customers. And, To our Suppliers of Goods and Services: If you had not supplied us with materials and tools, we could not have grown the plants. Thank you all for doing all of this. Almost everything starts with an idea. The idea was to start and build our own nursery. The decision was made by my wife Irma and me on an unsuccessful trip back to my native Denmark to explore starting a nursery there. The idea became, with the help of plant mentor John Wilde, to supply Chicagoland’s Landscapers and Garden Centers with quality ground covers. Part of that idea was that the customers would pick these ground covers up at our nursery. We had no trucks, no money and only a trailer behind the family car. One day when I had driven around all day and showed the ground cover samples to a dozen potential customers, I came to Mr. Zink whom I think rented a sales yard from Bruss Landscaping. He said he would take ten flats of Pachysandra: When could I deliver them? I took only a fraction of a second to answer: Tomorrow! Hence our delivery system got started. A few more reflections, mainly on the early past, like when • Steve Hagg from Johnson Landscaping bought the first 1,200 Pachysandra (that I delivered) and he gave me a list of a dozen potential customers. • Ralph Little of Thornapple Nursery came to our five acre nursery in response to a mailing of a letter and pricelist peddling our ground covers. He was the only one, and bought many plants since. • Frank Mariani came out in his pick-up truck and we helped each other load it. • Ralph Perkins loaded up his truck in the Sales Yard and answered some of my misgivings with: ‘Pete, if it was easy, they would all be doing it’. His family later received invoice #100,000 from Midwest Groundcovers.

• Christa and her brother, Stig, potted Lamium and got into a ‘throwing fight’ with the Lamium plugs, and I came around the corner. • Roy Klehm bought rooted shrub cuttings from us each Fall, (cuttings made in his own nursery) and always paid before Christmas. That made the family survive the Winter. • Jim Wells at a plant propagator meeting, over two martinis, steered me to the Farm Credit System - and that is how we got to know Stan Schumacher. • Paul Pedersen came over to pot plants for us in 1972 and we ran out of money. He had to take a landscape job to survive, but came and potted at night and weekends with much delayed pay! • Family and friends came on weekends and were paid in beer and hamburgers. • In 1972 when Juventino Castillo became our first Mexican worker, I taught him to make cuttings. A couple of years later I noticed he did almost everything the opposite way I had taught him. He now made twice as many cuttings as I had done - in the same time - on piecework. He also figured out how to propagate Vinca from cuttings with excellent percentage. He is still with us. • I was trying to step back and jumped into something with the (my) solution and Gary Knosher reminded me that I had said something entirely different the day before, about delegating. • My wife Irma delivered plants with the pick-up truck and trailer, with our one year old son Stig on the seat next to her! And I could go on and on - - and hope to do that someday. We are very fortunate, and I trust you our customers, employees and suppliers also are, that our daughter Christa is taking over the leadership of Midwest Groundcovers, LLC. I am not going away; I try to be of help and not in the way. You may ask Christa and her helpers how successful I am. Thank you all for all the years, it has been great.
