Mystery plant was: White Vervain or Nettle-leaf vervain

These plants were very ready to size up into their bigger pot!

Since everyone likes guessing games… any guesses?

The small (1/8inch) white flowers start in late June and bloom through September. Plant can reach 5 feet tall in ideal conditions. It likes part shade to shade, can do sun. Medium soil moisture. It may not be a show stopper native plant but the small bees and bird love it!

We recently got to explore a new prairie that has us really excited about a few new species we hope to offer in the coming years. When we visit new sites, we do our best to inventory as many of the native plants growing on site before any seed is harvested. By carefully documenting what species are present, we know approximately when to return to collect seeds!!

This beautiful pasture is filled with early spring blooms including Lambert's Locoweed (Oxytropis lambertii), Prairie Turnip (Pediomelum esculentum), Prairie Groundsel (Packera plattensis), Pasqueflower (Anemone patens), Wood Sorrel, (Oxalis violacea), Hoary Puccoon (Lithospermum canescens), Fringed Puccoon (Lithospermum incisum), Ground Plum (Astragalus crassicarpus), White Beardtongue (Penstemon albidus) and Downy Paintbrush (Castilleja sessiliflora)!!

Thank you Janelle from Tri-State Neighbor for featuring us in a recent article about native plants!

For a plant that grows naturally on the Midwest prairies, significant effort goes into starting native grasses and flowers in a greenhouse.
