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 B:
- Blue Joint Grass (Calamagrostis canadensis) 36-48”H. This tough native grass blooms in late spring to early summer with pink-green seeds that attract wildlife. Adaptable to a variety of soil types. Beautiful in large clumps. Blooms July/Aug/Sept.
- Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) 60”H. The crowning spikes of blossoms give a candelabra-like appearance to this graceful plant. It self-seeds readily and attracts many small mammals and birds. Welcomes full to partial-sun and variable soil types. Blooms July/Aug/Sept.
- Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) 18”H. Clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers attract many pollinators. The blossoms range from pale purples and blues to white. The long, thin blooms have a protruding, hairy lower lip that evokes the species’ common name. Blooms May/June.
- Early (Oxeye) Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides) 48-60”H. Impossibly tough, you’ll find this plant growing in many places at CGS. It blooms profusely through the summer on thin stems above the foliage. Blooms June/July/Aug/Sept.
