Each year, CGS grows four-packs of native tall-grass prairie plants to help you build your Ohio pollinator habitat. Our plants are healthy and vigorous, and you won't find a better price for this combination! And each year that you shop the CGS Prairie 4-Pack plant sale, your own garden grows in biodiversity and beauty.
You get 4 different plants in Set A:
- Purple Love Grass (Eragrostis spectabilis) 12-24”H. A warm-season grass that thrives in the driest, poorest soils (even under walnut trees!). The seed heads bloom mid-summer in shades of light to bright purple, giving an overall purple haze to the landscape. Blooms July/August.
- Blue Sage (Salvia azurea) 60”H. Gorgeous sky-blue blossoms provide a welcome punch of cool color to the summer garden. Tall and deer-resistant. Blooms Aug/Sept/Oct.
- Hoary Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum incanum) 36”H. Like most mints, this is a pollinator favorite. Unlike other Mountain Mints, this one has larger, deeper purple flowers than the traditional small white flowers. The silvery-white foliage is a plus for landscaping. Blooms July/Aug/Sept.
- Sweet Goldenrod (Solidago odora) 36”H. Clump-forming and makes a nice fall addition to any dry, or even sandy, garden. Also called Anise Scented Goldenrod, the nice-smelling leaves and dried yellow flowers make a great tea. Deer-resistant. Blooms Aug/Sept.
Each Prairie 4-Pack is $18
