Mini Meadow for Fall (12 Plants)

This kit includes 12 Wisconsin native plants that bloom from July to October to support migrating monarchs and other fall pollinators. All plants are 3 feet tall or less.

Plants included:

• 2 x Helianthus occidentalis (western sunflower) - keystone species!
• 2 x Liatris aspera (rough blazing star) 
• 2 x Symphyotrichum laeve (smooth aster) - keystone species!
• 6 x Bouteloua curtipendula (side-oats grama) - ground layer

How to plant: For a meadow look, scatter flowers informally throughout the ground layer of side-oats grama. Plant densely: about 12 inches from center to center, keeping all plants at least 8 inches from the edge of the bed. Covers about 24 square feet.
