I want to be sure and plant them correctly.
Sun? Shade? Moist?
Redbud
Tulip Tree
Four Seed Geranium
Wild Ginger
Thanks for your help!
Bought some new plants from an historic site
I can tell you from experience to not plant the redbud tree where it is not protected from wind damage. It is a soft wooded tree. I didn't know that and planted mine outside my fence in the open. It was so beautiful and full and perfect till last year the wind caused a big branch to split off of it. This year another 1/3 of the tree suffered the same wind damage. I don't hold out hope for it to live if another burst of wind hits it. In hindsight I wish I would have planted it up close to the house on the less windy side. I do know it is not a long lived tree from what I've read about it. It's beautiful though so enjoy it while you can. I have a small one less than two feet tall I'm babying in my perennial bed that I got from the Arbor Day foundation. I'll be sure to plant this one up by the house.
Good luck. I don't know much about the rest of the plants. Maybe someone else can help you.

Thank you!
Brenda, I had to chuckle, I have 2 Red buds in my perinneal bed that I'm babing. I also got them from Arbor Day Foundation. LOL I'm looking for a parent for one of them.
