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.  
 
Yellow Coneflower (Ratibida pinnata) to 60”H. Many insects are attracted to this plant such as butterflies and bees. It grows and transplants very easily, is drought-tolerant, and makes an excellent cut flower. Yellow Coneflower grows best in full sun to partial shade, and medium to dry-medium soil conditions. 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. 
 
* In the event a plant fails to grow, we will substitute a plant of equal value. You will be notified before pickup.
