Wild Ginger

Woodlands Shop

We love to help people discover the possibilities of their shady landscapes. Whether you have some natural woods you’d like to improve or a shade tree with potential underneath, we can help you understand how to prepare a site for woodland wildflowers, sedges, and ferns. Our plants can help bring long-lasting beauty for humans and necessary ecological support for bees, butterflies, moths and other wildlife. We offer woodland wildflowers, a limited number of sedges and grasses, and a selection of ferns that are all native to Michigan. Please note that requirements for some of these plants differ from regular native plantings, mainly in soil richness and drainage. Let us help set you up for success!

Below you will find the complete listing of all of the plants we sell. Most of the plants we sell are woodland plants, but we also sell some non-woodlands. Most of our plants are native to Michigan, but we do sell some plants that are native south or west of Michigan. We are working on including information about the location of our seed/spore sources. Please see each individual plant description for this information.

To see a specific subset of plants (e.g. ferns, walnut tolerant, deer resistance, dry shade, etc) click the links at the left (or top) of the next section. New for 2026, we have included Companion Plants within most of the listings. This can help guide you on which plants grow together well.

If you are just getting started and your soil is not the best, while you are working on improving it with lots of decomposing leaves, we’ve got a special category below: Can Handle Poorer Soil. Check it out!
