What was the first sprout?
The first jug with sprouts contains 'Frostweed' - (Verbesina virginica) - aka White Crownbeard. It is a native plant found in much of the eastern half of the USA. I am growing it for it's late summer, fall blooms to provide nectar for the butterflies. It reportedly will grow and bloom in dappled shade and that is mostly all I have left so giving it a try this year.

"The first frost is when Frostweed performs a unique trick that is truly a marvel of nature. During the first frost the stem splits and as the sap oozes out of the winged stem it freezes and as it is freezing it curls into fascinating ribbons forming mini ice sculptures. The plant was named Frostweed because of this unique characteristic."
