This category contains the native flora of Virginia as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic. Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).
Sabal minor is one of the most cold hardy palms in cultivation; however, it does best when grown in hot and humid tropical summer conditions, and may struggle or grow slowly in cool summer climates. It is leaf hardy to near 0 °F (−18 °C), and has been known to survive brief periods of −5 °F (−21 °C) temperatures.
Additionally, disjunct plant communities at Crow's Nest are found that are not common in the Piedmont and coastal plain of Virginia, as these areas generally have lower pH soils. These rare or "disjunct" plants and plant communities include small-flower baby-blue-eyes (Nemophila aphylla) and glade fern (Athyrium pycnocarpon).
This plant can be found in 38 out of the 50 states in the United States and is located anywhere from Maine to Minnesota going west, and found as far south as Georgia and Louisiana. [2] Common names include tall anemone, thimble-weed [3] and tumble-weed. [3] Note that several other plant species are known as "thimbleweed". Anemone virginiana
It has a more restrained growth than the other Virginia creepers. [2] The large palmate leaves consist of five to nine oval leaflets, each up to 12 cm (5 in) long, with strong white veining. The leaves colour to a brilliant red in autumn before falling. Clusters of inconspicuous flowers in summer may be followed by black fruits. [3] [4]
