Bowman’s Root plants in the nursery.
Not yet in bloom but looking very good: Bowman’s Root (Gillenia trifoliata) and its close relative American Ipecac (G. stipulata). both have starry white flowers and pretty fall foliage colour. American Ipecac ‘s range is further south and west so I expect it to be more drought-tolerant than Bowman’s Root.
A great companion for Bowman’s root is the lovely Wild Geranium.
Mountain Pussytoes are starting in to bloom. This is a very low Pussytoes with grey-pink flowers, very nice for rock gardens.
The two smaller wild Irises are budding nicely, little Dwarf Arctic Iris and mid-size Beach-head Iris.
I am a big fan of Spikenard, an imposing plant for shade with a great fruit display in the fall. They were slow to get going this spring, but are now making up for lost time.

Can you provide the address of the June 6th sale, and the hours? I yanked out a lot of tick seed and now have a bare spot in my partially shaded, dry limey meadow. Any suggestions?

Hi Tanya, Prairie Smoke is great for a low evergreen plant with early spring bloom and seed interest. Prairie Flax is a possibility. And Smooth Aster (Symphyotrichu laeve).
We will be at the pick-up location from 10:30 to 12:30 on Saturday. If there is a great deal of interest, we will slot folks into a preferred time slot (so far, not necessary). The location is a private driveway on a road behind the Hellenic Centre. I can send you the exact address with the details of e-transferring.

Thanks Trish, I already have prairie smoke. I have New England Aster but no smooth aster, so I could take a couple of those. I need somthing of mid height, or a grass.
