Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?

A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Title: Native violets under maples from Gettysburg PA
Answered by: Joe Marcus

QUESTION:

Just for your info (no need to post or reply), I saw an old post of a question of something to grow under maples. In central PA, native violets grow very well under several species of maples in lawns and form a dense ground cover of their beautiful leaves, with the added bonus of flowers and sweet smell in spring. They are not bothered by occasional mowing.

ANSWER:

Thank you!
