Leominster Farmers' Market this weekend! Plus new species!
By Lise Fracalossi
We’ll be at the Leominster MA Farmers’ Market this Saturday, July 5th, 2025, from 11am to 2pm, in Monument Square, Leominster, MA.
We’ll have several lovely annuals and biennials in bloom – all of which are new-this-year species for us! This includes:
- Pale corydalis (Corydalis sempervirens; biennial 1st year). This biennial offers delicate pale green foliage and small colorful pink and yellow flowers.
- Redwhisker Clammyweed (Polanisia dodecandra; annual). A great name for an interesting plant! It’s called “clammy weed” because supposedly handling the leaves will make your hands feel clammy. (I haven’t noticed this). The flowers are small, but a striking pink/red color.
- Rattlebox (Crotalaria sagittalis; annual). We only have one left of this member of the bean family with fall interest! The seed pods of this plant, when they dry, will rattle – hence the name.
We will have our usual selection of perennials as well – see Buy Plants for the full list. As always with our markets, you can order plants for pickup at our markets by emailing me at lise@redtrilliumgardens.com.
Hope to see you there! And if you miss us this weekend, we’ll be at this market on the first Saturday of each month, ending in October.
