$18.00
Sold Out

Can’t be shipped. (We won't be growing Ground Plum in 2025, but maybe again in 2026)

Note: We are not “Sold Out” but we will post our Ground Plum inventory when we are sure the plants are growing well. Sign up for the wait list below to be notified. We will also bring them to the Twin Cities Plant Sales.

Ground Plum is a unique prairie flower with pinkish purple and white flowers in the spring. It grows in a very short clump and sprawls across the ground. After blooming, bunches of 1″ edible plums appear, adding interest long after the flowers have gone. Ground Plum is a legume and adds nitrogen to the soil.
