In autumn, Aspens are nothing less than stunning – gilded with brilliant golden leaves, perpetually trembling and splashing sunlight in every direction. Aspens are fast growers, and can survive almost anywhere – so long as they get ample sunlight – typically living for about a century. Populus tremuloides, also known as “Golden Aspen,” “Quaking Poplar,” and “Small-toothed Aspen,” among other common names, makes its glowing presence known throughout all the great Mountain systems of the United States and Canada. The species’ immense range spreads all the way down into the mountain ranges of Mexico, as well. Every account of early western exploration includes mention of the remarkable beauty of the Aspen groves encountered in the mountains. As one naturalist wrote: “Where the deer bound, where the trout rise, where your horse stops to slather a drink from icy water while the sun is warm on the back of your neck, where every breath you draw is exhilaration — that is where the Aspens grow.” Aspens are typically smallish trees, around 40 feet tall with trunk diameters under two feet across. Their trembling, ever-moving leaves are pale green in spring and summer, burnishing to radiant gold in autumn. Aspen bark is smooth and the color of white-ash. Older trees have bark that’s nearly black at the base, turning to smooth mottled gray higher up the trunk. Populus tremuloides, Quaking Aspen, is a beautiful, useful, historically important, and truly iconic species that can be cultivated virtually anywhere — including your yard, garden, deck, or patio!

Red Maple grows in a vast natural range throughout the United States, Mexico, and north into both Western and Eastern Canada. It occupies a variety of diverse habitats, from bogs and bottomlands to cold mountain ridges, growing best in wetter areas. It is the State Tree of Rhode Island. A moderately fast grower, Red Maple usually grows to between 60 and 100 feet tall at maturity, with large, spreading canopies and showy flowers. Red twigs, branchlets, and buds give the Red Maple its name, as does the brilliant scarlet color of the tree's foliage. The crimson leaves are especially florid in colder regions. The largest Red Maple on record is over 180 feet tall with a crown spread of 120 feet. Red Maple is often among the first trees to color-up in fall and one of the first to blossom in spring. This species makes a beautiful, seasonally-entertaining tree for a diverse array of locations. Acer rubrum is highly soil-tolerant, can grow in sun or shade, and is especially well-suited for use as a street, shade, or ornamental tree.

On bright days, the poppy's silky petals open to greet the sun. At dusk, the golden blooms close into tightly fluted repose. Eschscholzia californica, was first described to the scientific community in the early 19th Century by a German naturalist, Adelbert von Chamisso. Since then, the flower has gained admirers the world-over, becoming the State Flower of California in 1890, and winning the hearts of gardeners everywhere with its welcoming beauty and the ease with which it grows. Always friendly and neat in appearance — a popular flower to press — the California Poppy features a compact, upright form, lifting its famous orange blooms 12 to 18 inches above a finely cut bed of lacy, bluish-green foliage. In milder climates that resemble its native California, the poppy is a perennial, blooming throughout the spring and summer, reseeding itself freely and generously. In colder regions, poppies must be reseeded by hand each spring in preparation for their summer colorburst. A swath of California Poppies brings a vivacious splash of color to virtually any open, sunny area, and they are as fun to grow as they are lovely! There's enough seed in each kit to plant an entire meadow full of poppies – almost 30,000 seeds in all! Scattered in an informal, wildflower planting, the seed from each kit will cover about 1,400 square feet, or an area roughly 38' x 38'. Approximately 70% of these seeds will germinate.

The association of the cherry blossom with mono no aware dates back to 18th-century scholar Motoori Norinaga. The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality; for this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect. The flower is also represented on all manner of consumer goods in Japan, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Here are two grow kits in our classic Parks Collection interpretive packaging that can bring the beauty of cherry blossom trees to your own yard or garden, and, each spring, you'll be greeted by a riot of pink flowers in celebration of your home's very own Cherry Blossom festival!

The oldest still-living specimen grows in the mountains of what is now Southeastern California, and is estimated to be more than 5,000 years old, predating Cheops’ Pyramid and the Great Sphinx of Gizeh by centuries. This truly ancient specimen – which can still be seen today – was already a thousand years old by the time Stonehenge was erected, and three millennia old by the birth of Christ. Native to dry, mountainous regions in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Bristlecone Pine makes its home in an extremely hostile environment. Depending on growing conditions, mature Bristlecone Pines achieve heights of 20 to 50 feet and trunk diameters of 1 to 2-1/2 feet, and generally feature extremely dense, irregular crowns. Bristlecone Pines have lustrous, deep green needles, arranged in groups of five and often bespeckled with white droplets of resin. Long tufts of foliage cluster at the ends of the trees' short stout branches. Bristlecone Pine cones are dark chocolate to purple-brown in color, oval-shaped, and rom 3 to 3-1/2 inches long – each cone scale armed with the tree's distinctive 3/4" name-sake "bristle." The astounding longevity and amazing hardiness of the Bristlecone Pine make it an attractive, slow-growing tree, perfect for ornamental planting in a diverse range of climates. In cultivation, Bristlecones take on a form quite different from their wild subalpine brethren, becoming symmetrical, even luxuriant trees, fully clothed in dense, very dark, shimmering needles. Pinus aristata is remarkably drought-resistant and has been planted successfully throughout the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere (including Iceland!). Its diminutive size and slow growth commend Bristlecone Pine as an excellent species for container-growing.

Papaver rhoeas is an erect, singlestemmed annual, growing up to about 2 feet-tall. Rising from a bed of deeply lobed, fern-like foliage, each stem holds a single flower: 4 silky red petals, usually 2–4 inches across, which generally bloom from late spring to late summer. The Red Poppy’s tendency to grow on disturbed sites is behind the flower’s notoriety as an icon of World War I, during which time trench digging, explosions, and the creation of mass cemeteries caused millions of Red Poppy seeds to break dormancy, blanketing the devastated European countryside with beautiful red blooms. Since World War I, the Red Poppy has been used to commemorate casualities of war, its likeness worn on lapel pins and badges (known as “Remembrance Poppies”) on Veterans Day. Owing to this strong tradition, the U.K.’s Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day. There's enough seed here to plant an entire meadow full of poppies — almost 90,000 seeds in each kit! Scattered in an informal, wildflower planting, the seed from each kit will cover about 1,400 square feet, or an area roughly 38' x 38'. Approximately 70% of these seeds will germinate.

In these subalpine ecosystems (at elevations of up to 12,000 feet, on exposed slopes and ridges subject to hurricane-force winds and temperatures down to -60°F), Whitebark Pine is not only a great survivor; it’s a great provider — a foundational species in ten states and two Canadian provinces that provides food and shelter for countless high country birds and animals, from mountain goats to grizzly bears. Slow-growing and long-lived (the oldest known specimen in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains is estimated to be nearly 1,300 years-old), Whitebark Pine is a 5-needle pine that takes on very different growth forms based on environmental factors. At the highest elevations, Whitebarks are hammered by the elements into a krummholz form: low-growing, shrublike, and windswept — dwarfed by years of exposure and crushing loads of snow and ice that persist nine months of the year. This low-cast alpine form explains Whitebark’s other names: “Scrub Pine” and “Creeping Pine.” At lower elevations, where conditions are not as extreme, Whitebark Pines are larger and feature upswept branches with tips crowded with lush foliage. In this setting, Whitebark Pines can grow to 60 feet-tall with shining white trunks 2–3 feet across. The largest known Whitebark Pine is 90 feet-tall. Today, the Whitebark Pine species is now at a critical turning point. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has found that the Whitebark Pine Tree is in imminent danger of extinction due to a trend of warmer winters that have allowed native mountain pine beetle populations to grow out of control and wreak havoc throughout higher elevations Whitebark Country. Now is a great time to grow a Whitebark Pine!

Growing these ancient organisms is like taking a ride in a time machine! Once widely scattered across the face of the globe, the amazing Ginkgo biloba, commonly known as Ginkgo Tree, Golden Fossil Tree, or Maidenhair Tree, is not only a physically beautiful, strikingly-unique, and tenaciously-hardy tree, it is a living link to the remote, prehistoric past. Starting with their leathery, fan-shaped leaves, Ginkgo Trees have an ancient, otherworldly aspect to them. Ginkgos can grow quite large, with some reported to be over 160 feet tall in forests in China. Despite its propensity for prodigious growth, this tree also does well in containers and is quite amenable to pruning. Hence, it can be easily kept smaller for use in a small garden or as a deck or patio tree. Likewise, Ginkgos are also wonderful candidates for bonsai. Left to grow naturally in the landscape, Ginkgos typically reach a mature height of 60 to 100 feet with a stout, silvery trunk, and a branch spread of around 30-50 feet. It is an ideal and well-proportioned street or shade tree, with deep roots and a great resistance to damage from the elements, including wind, snow, pests, and urban pollution. In Autumn, the Ginkgo’s unmistakable leaves burnish to a deep saffron yellow. When backlit by the sun, a golden-leaved Ginkgo appears to almost glow. Fall foliage tends to linger on the tree into late Autumn before somewhat suddenly dropping, leaving the tree’s statuesque winter silhouette nude except for the ornaments of its small woody cone-like seeds. Here’s your chance to plant a living fossil, and a truly beautiful tree!

Growing these ancient organisms is like taking a ride in a time machine! Until 1944, the Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) was known only in the form of fossils collected by paleobotanists. The fossil record made it clear to scientists that the Dawn Redwood had once been widely dispersed throughout the Northern Hemisphere during the Tertiary Period, with fossil remains collected in far-flung locations from North America to Asia to Greenland. The tree was thought to have been extinct for perhaps 20 million years! That all changed in 1944, after a living specimen was discovered alive and well by a surprised Chinese forester near the remote village of Motao-chi in the Chinese province of Szechwan. As word spread of this discovery, botanists world-wide became intrigued. In time, The Arnold Arboretum of Boston and California's Save the Redwoods League sent expeditions to the area. The seeds and cuttings collected during these outings were shared with botanical gardens, universities, arboreta, and private nurseries around the world, and, today, this amazing "living fossil" is available from nurseries like Jonsteen. In the years since its "discovery," Metasequoia glyptostroboides has proven itself as a remarkable and versatile ornamental, suitable for a wide range of climates and diverse planting situations. As an icon of conservation, only the Giant Pandas are more important to the Chinese people than Dawn Redwoods. Mature Dawn Redwoods, like those occurring in China, are broadly conical, and grow to typical heights of 50 to 100 feet tall from thick buttressed trunks. The foliage is wonderfully soft, presenting different tones throughout the year, and the needles very closely resemble those of the Dawn's close relative, California's Coast Redwood. The largest Dawn Redwood tops 160 feet tall with a trunk approximately seven feet across – in stature and form very like California's redwoods, but smaller. The most striking difference between the famous California trees and Dawn Redwoods is that Dawn Redwoods are deciduous, shedding their needles each fall and sending out bright new growth each spring. Dawn Redwoods are very cold hardy, easily handling temperatures into the -20°'s F. They can grow successfully in diverse settings and situations, but thrive best in full sun and moist soils. They are a good candidate for bonsai, and, although their growth is typically symmetrical, they are quite amenable to pruning and shaping. Sorry, you cannot have a Giant Panda in your yard or garden, but you can certainly plant an incredible Dawn Redwood, China's other great icon!

The Rocky Mountain Columbine, Aguilegia coerulea, was first documented in 1820 by the famous mountain climber Edwin James on top of Pike’s Peak. The Columbine’s scientific name is derived from the Latin “Aquila,” meaning “eagle,” for the flower’s rear spurs, which resemble the talons of an eagle. Over 70 species of Aquilegia exist worldwide, ranging in color from bright red, yellow, and orange, to shades of lavender and purple. Native Americans crushed the seeds and roots of the Columbine to treat headaches, fevers, rashes, heart problems, and sore throats. Native men are also said to have used the flower as an ingredient in a love charm. The Columbine was named the State Flower of Colorado in 1891 after schoolchildren voted it their favorite flower.
