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.
One of the most popular ornamental prairie grasses. Little Bluestem has blue-colored leaves in early summer, changing to a warm shade of bronze in fall. The seed heads are little white puffs that cover the top and blow gently in the wind. Little Bluestem forms a stiff column of colorful stems in fall that stand up throughout winter, providing year-round color.
