Yellow Ribbon Plants is a producer of nature-friendly plants to beautify your yard or garden. Yellow Ribbon plants is named in honor of the many veterans in the country, including many members of my family as well as me, who have served their country in war and peace.
While my plants are not totally chemical-free, I strongly believe that the best defense against plant diseases and plant pests is strong, healthy plants grown in natural conditions using as many natural practices as feasible. I grow my plants in a mix of soil and organic compost. I start many of them using a simple sand-bed and misting system. My plants are left outside to over-winter. The only protection they receive is, in some cases, placing them behind a low hill with a row of trees, or under plastic low-hoops to help protect from wind and prevent drying out - more of a risk to plants than cold itself. Unlike many big-box store plants, which have been grown in green-houses down further south, then brought up north in spring, most of my plants have “toughed it out” over winter, and will not wilt and die if we get a chilly spring night. They have already faced nature’s wrath and come through strong and healthy.
Yellow Ribbon plants offers mainly flowering shrubs and perennials, with a sprinking of fruit-bearing trees such as crab-apples, berry plants like raspberry and blackberry, bush cherry and wild plum - plants that will feed both human and wildlife. Flowering shrubs include old-fashioned favorites such as mock orange, bridalwreath spirea, forsythia and snowball bushes, to more modern spireas, hydrangeas, magnolias, viburnums - anything that produces a flower that is sweet to the eye. If the scent is sweet to the nose, so much the better. I am also searching for and adding to my collection flowers, small trees and shrubs which are “larval host species” that is, plants which will feed the caterpillars of butterflies and moths. Without larval host species, we’d have no butterflies or beautiful moths to delight our days and nights.
Yellow Ribbon Plants will also be offering perennials, including many particularly pollinator-friendly varieties. In fact, YRP will have a complete section devoted to larval host and nectar plants which attract, provide homes for, and feed native bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, and bring a riot of color to your yard.
