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).

Lobelia spicata, Pale Spike Lobelia

A delicate lobelia with narrow, upright stems and pale blooms. This one grows outside of cultivation in meadows, among the taller perennials and grasses. Tolerant of dryer soils than some other Lobelias.

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