What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.

Aromatic Aster is fantastic native plant for two reasons: it’s short and it blooms extremely late in the fall, providing flowers when everything else has succumbed to frost. When it finally blooms, it creates a mound of light purplish blue flowers. It doesn’t spread as much by seed as the other asters, making it a more friendly garden plant. Aromatic Aster does spread by underground roots (rhizomes), so plant in between grasses that can keep it in check.
