New for 2026 - Zizia aurea - aka Golden Zizia. Native perennial. Their native range in Canada stretches from Manitoba to Nova Scotia (rare here in NS but found in certain places). Vibrant golden umbel flowers and lush green foliage. 3' tall branching plants. We really enjoyed basking in their presence on early summer evenings. We noticed so many small native bees and other insect pollinators. They bloom over quite a long period, from May to July. Host to a number of butterfly species, including Black Swallowtail. 80+ seeds
