March Traditions - Bare Root Plants and Spring Ephemerals
Update: 2023-03-30
Description
This month on A Rich Spot of Earth, we look at the practice of shipping and planting bare root plants, a Monticello March tradition. We also feature three of our favorite spring ephemerals -- Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), Twinleaf (Jeffersonia diphylla), and Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) -- and share when and how you can see them in bloom at Monticello along with how to get and grow your own.
Featuring Michael Tricomi, Interim Manager and Curator of Historic Gardens; Peggy Cornett, Curator of Plants; Debbie Donley, Flower Gardener; Jessica Armstrong, Manager of Nursery Operations at the Thomas Jefferson Center for Historic Plants; and, Robert Dowell, Horticulturalist at the Center.
