May

Where our nursery is located in east Tennessee at 1200’, the landscape is hilly and half wooded and half open. In some places the hillsides are so steep that in the winter, the sun never hits the ground. This is where some of our earliest wildflowers bloom. But a little later on in May, on not so severe slopes that receive brighter light, we find fire pink, and at this time of the year, it is impossible to miss. Its brilliant crimson flowers sparkle like beacons along cliffs and slopes. It just begs to be planted in a part sun rock garden or among boulders or a lightly shaded road cut.
