The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

For full to part sun areas, this Galium can spread quickly so is likely better suited to meadows or dense pollinator plantings than gardens. Where their exhuberance won't overwhelm, they add beautiful frothy blooms to grasslands and mixed meadows.

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