The Plant Store will re-open for sales the week of May 13th, 2024 for local pickup

  • 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.
  • I'm currently working on shifting the store part of this site over to more complex software that will allow for filtering by multiple plant traits and making wish lists of species you would like to order, so please bear with me when it comes to announcing the exact species offerings for 2024 (there will be lots, including some species not previously offered).

Growing to around 2' in height, I'm looking forward to adding this species to the gardens and meadows that I tend, where I suspect they will create habitat and food in the spaces between the taller and sturdier species, while also adding the same softening effect that Baby's Breath adds to bouquets.

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