Seven of those so rare they are only seen in five or fewer sites in the state. Twenty-one others are only found on six to twenty sites in Delaware. Mt. Cuba began in 1935 as the private estate and garden of Mr. and Mrs. Lamont du Pont Copeland. Now the stately brick family home, on the National Register of Historic Places, houses Mt Cuba Center, an acclaimed horticultural institution specializing in Piedmont native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. This is the woodland garden of plant lover’s dreams. Weeds and invasive plants are banished, deer kept outside, everything interesting labeled. Seldom seen wildflowers crowd the path edges. Understory trees, like dogwood, delicately accent the golden green light bathing the vistas.
