I am very fortunate to have gardening friends that I met via DG (
@greenthumb99 and
@ecnalg) live about 5 miles away who also garden in wooded conditions like I do. Over the years we have visited each others gardens throughout the seasons and have shared many pass along plants. On one visit, they brought a few seedlings of polemonium reptans. I stuck them in the urn container on the front steps landing before we started our walk about. As things go, I kept meaning to get them planted out in the garden but never got around to it. The next spring, I started noticing some unknown seedlings that had pretty foliage out in the front steps beds. Even I knew that they weren't weeds, but it was weeks before it finally occurred to me that they were seedlings from the polemonium reptans that were still alive and thriving in that urn container! I like them so much, I'm trying to get hundreds of them to grow in the circle driveway area. An easy little plant that seems to happily seed about - absolutely great for naturalizing in woodland conditions.
