Here's the answer! This kit contains a laminated design layout for an 8ft x 8ft shady space and 67 native plants that love our woodland habitats. Perfect for around an oak tree or as a stand-alone garden! Based on the principles of matrix design, this kit contains everything from ground-covering sedges to beautiful wildflowers to feed a diversity of pollinators and support our native trees. The density leads to plants covering the ground quickly, leading to increased weed suppression. All species are chosen to grow nicely together in a small space. The back of the laminated design even contains tips and tricks for successful garden stewardship!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade Kit Components: 1\/2-pint plugs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1- Laminated design layout (easy to follow!)\u003cbr\u003e3- Wild Columbine (\u003cem\u003eAquilegia canadensis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e9- Wild Strawberry (\u003cem\u003eFragaria virginiana\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e6- Jacob's Ladder (\u003cem\u003ePolemonium reptans\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e3- Zigzag Goldenrod (\u003cem\u003eSolidago flexicaulis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e3- Wild Ginger (\u003cem\u003eAsarum canadense\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e5- Wild Geranium (\u003cem\u003eGeranium maculatum\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e3- Shooting Star (\u003cem\u003eDodecatheon meadia\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e6- Plantain-leaved Sedge (\u003cem\u003eCarex plantaginea\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e29- Pennsylvania Sedge (\u003cem\u003eCarex pensylvanica\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Sometimes nurseries have crop failures, and we might be forced to substitute an equivalent species.
