The Plant store is now closed for orders.

  • I'm planning on one last round of sales toward the end of September of plants that I'll be potting up from a nursery bed I planted in the fall of 2022. I'll post the details and the time once I have the plants ready to go
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information here to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.
  • Please see the Plant Nursery for a photo of the different sizes/prices on offer and for information on the sizing of these seedlings and the details of the sale
  • Species that were not seeded, didn’t germinate or that are sold out are marked with an asterisk *

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/dalea-purpurea-purple-prairie-clover-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

Reportedly a super food for the endangered Rusty Patched Bumblebee, this native legume is popular with pollinators in general.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
