Your leaf litter can be home to a rich assortment of native plants while it is fertilizing, mulching, and watering your land. Many wildflowers grow only in soil with lots of humus, including pink and yellow lady slippers, trout lilies, bloodroot, Solomon’s seal, Jacob’s ladder, Jack-in-the-pulpit, numerous species of ferns and trilliums, mayapples, wild ginger, dwarf crested iris, and foamflower.
