Woodland Flowers and Plants
The deep soil in most woodland areas makes it possible for many different types of flowers to thrive among the deep rooted trees and shrubs. The woodland soil is deep and rich in food value and the abundant leaf-mould is forever replenishing the food supply. Flowers and plants of all shapes and sizes can easily thrive in deep soil because food is available at several different depths. Sunlight is always needed but even in summer most woodlands have enough light to allow stems and leaves to grow. However, many woodland flowers produce their flower heads in the spring when the sun is getting stronger but before the leaves on the trees appear.
