NATIVE PLANT SALE SATURDAY, SEPT. 16 FROM 9AM-NOON!

 

Add habitat, diversity and beauty to your home garden with native prairie plants, grasses and flowers. We’ve partnered up with Troutleaf Natives to bring you a Native Plant Sale this Saturday, September 16th from 9am-noon at Iowa Grown Market. With all their wonderful benefits, we are excited to be able to offer this unique sale that focuses solely on perennial native plants!

 

The fall is a great time to plant natives in your yard! It's a chance to fill in gaps in your home garden before the growing season is over. Planting in September through early October gives the plants enough time to establish roots before the ground freezes.

 

Why else plant natives in your yard?

 

-Native plants are well adapted to our local conditions, so they can survive winter cold, summer heat and drought.

 

-Once established, they require little or no irrigation, and no fertilization is needed.

 

-They are resistant or tolerant to most insect pests and diseases.

 

-They attract butterflies by serving as host plants for caterpillars and nectar plants for butterflies.

 

Plants are available in 2 gallon pots ($15), 1 gallon pots ($12), 4” pots ($5) and 3” pots ($3)
