To honor America’s 250 years of freedom on July 4th., the Wright Scoop spotlights heritage plant Sweetbay magnolia.
From an ecological perspective, she first recommended heritage plants, dog rose and feverfew as Plants of CARE. As a follow up, Wright chose Sweetbay magnolia.
Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) is utilized in traditional and herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and tonic properties. Historically used to treat fevers, respiratory issues, and digestive sluggishness, its bark and extracts are rich in active compounds like magnolol and honokiol, which help relieve stress and promote muscle relaxation.
The dog rose (Rosa canina), a vigorous thorny deciduous shrub native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, is known for its vitamin C-rich red rose hips in autumn.
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) a daisy-like flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, is known for its use medicinally, primarily for migraine headaches, due to its active compound parthenolide.
Plants of CARE, a Plant Recognition Program –
During year 2025, Wright’s plants of CARE program spoghtlighted Eastern redbud Cercis canadensis, Native azalea Rhododendron periclymenoides (Michx.) Shinner and Basswood tree also known as linden. To close out year 2025, Wright recommended Camellia. For 2026, she partner with America’s 250 years of freedom celebration, spotlighting Dog Rose and Feverfew.
Wright’s advocacy program challenges all to reduce their carbon footprint as well as feed their families pesticide-free produce. “For,” says Wright, “any style landscape should not simply reflect traditional design concepts but be a result of the right plant, installed in the right place at the right (optimal) planting season—creating a legacy of green, healthier urban suburban communities.”
While many plants are proven to enable landscape gardens, a plant of CARE is spotlighted for its ability to inspire people to CARE—have a perspective of conservation, advocacy, recovery and eco-efficiency.
