Kill your lawn and embrace the abundance of Big Bluestem. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dakota County \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNH Propagation Technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Powers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alongside Yellow Prairie Grass (\u003cem\u003eSorghastrum nutans\u003c\/em\u003e), Little Bluestem (\u003cem\u003eSchizachyrium scoparium\u003c\/em\u003e), and Switchgrass (\u003cem\u003ePanicum virgatum\u003c\/em\u003e), Big Bluestem stands as one of the Four Horsemen of the Tallgrass Prairie. This ecosystem once covered millions of acres across America, and today less than one percent survives intact making it one of the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Erased by development, agriculture, and a long history of neglect, these prairies weren’t just scenery for manifest destiny. They were the lifeblood of cultures and the home of many creatures for millennia. We have done our darndest to destroy Big Bluestem and yet it persists on the peripheries, simultaneously representing everything that is wrong with America and everything that is great about it. Those deep, perennial root systems living and dying every year built the deep rich soils that became the Midwest agricultural complex that we exploit today. If left undisturbed those prairie soils would have stored more carbon below ground than most old growth forests do above. Big Bluestem is living infrastructure doing the job of carbon sequestration, erosion protection, rain infiltration, drought resiliency, food for animals, homes for insects, beauty and mythology. Now imagine that power harnessed in your community.

In a pinch they can be used as toilet paper. Like many other asters the stem-leaves become smaller and narrower as they ascend up the sometimes-reddish stem. Those slightly hairy zig zagging stems terminate in a flower spray in late summer or early fall that is usually a flat-topped collection of white to purplish rays and yellow centers that turn reddish brown with time. Bloom color is highly variable but given the proper conditions this plant will produce an excellent show of flowers and fall foliage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFruits and Seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small tan‑brown achenes topped with a soft white pappus. Mature seeds are narrow and faintly ribbed. As they dry, the seedheads fluff into pale brown tufts that break apart easily and disperse through light woodland air currents but in some cases can persist into winter. Standing stems even without seeds are attractive poking out of the winter snow. But they look best in fall mixed with fallen leaves and the dipping sun.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHabit and habitat\u003c\/strong\u003e: A widespread species across MN that’s common in mesic forests, shaded trails, ravines, and older second‑growth hardwood stands on slopes. It prefers rich soils but is highly adaptable requiring only good drainage. Often forming carpets under mixed hardwoods, it can handle disturbances like light traffic or thinning by shovel. In hot, exposed sites it will merely survive and not thrive. In deep shade it will not bloom but will persist as a ground cover. In the garden its best used in challenging locations under pines or in the shade of building overhangs, mix with spring bloomers and graminoids. Create dynamics by letting it spread into a large patch then dot taller forbs into the planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woodland Sedges like: \u003cem\u003eCarex sprengelii, C. rosea, C. blanda\u003c\/em\u003e, Wild Geranium (\u003cem\u003eGeranium maculatum\u003c\/em\u003e), Large‑flowered Bellwort (\u003cem\u003eUvularia grandiflora\u003c\/em\u003e), Blue Cohosh (\u003cem\u003eCaulophyllum thalictroides\u003c\/em\u003e), White or Red Baneberry (\u003cem\u003eActaea sp\u003c\/em\u003e.),  Jack‑in‑the‑Pulpit (\u003cem\u003eArisaema triphyllum\u003c\/em\u003e), Smooth Solomon’s Seal (\u003cem\u003ePolygonatum biflorum\u003c\/em\u003e), Violets like: \u003cem\u003eV. sororia or V. eriocarpa\u003c\/em\u003e, Zig-zag Goldenrod (\u003cem\u003eSolidago flexicaulis\u003c\/em\u003e), Wild Ginger (\u003cem\u003eAsarum canadense\u003c\/em\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEcological Associations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big‑Leaf Aster supports a range of woodland insects. Sweat bees and small mining bees visit the blooms, along with syrphid flies and pollen‑seeking beetles. The foliage hosts leaf‑mining larvae and aster‑associated micromoths including Wavy‑lined Emerald (\u003cem\u003eSynchlora aerata\u003c\/em\u003e). Leafhoppers, planthoppers, and juvenile Orthoptera move through the lower growth, and the creeping rhizomes and leaf litter around the plant provide shelter for minute spiders, tiny beetles, psyllids, thrips, lacewing larvae, and other micro‑arthropods that overwinter in plants. Herbivory is hit or miss, sometimes rabbits and deer will make a meal of it while other years the hairy leaves keep them away. Humans can eat the young waxy looking shoots, throw them on a salad in spring. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dakota County, Greater MN, WI\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNH Propagation Technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed, though you can easily divide this plant. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 15.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Powers: \u003c\/strong\u003eA steady, reliable woodland matrix plant that weaves together nicely with a woodland cohort like Zigzag goldenrod, woodland sedges and other medium height plants requiring shady conditions.

Avian species have diet diversity in their ranks, with herbivores, carnivores, insectivores, and omnivores or those who indulge in delicacies like insects, leaf buds and even flower nectar. Support this diversity by planting living bird feeders! This kit features a mix of plants that make food specifically for birds but also includes insect host plants that make food for the insects that birds eat. The fundamentals of ecology are centered on the distribution of energy and this starts with plants that harness the sun’s energy and turn it into food that other organisms can use. Plants eat light, insects eat plants, birds eat bugs, these are the building blocks to the web of life.

A beautiful landscape that tows the line between forest and grassland. Debates abound, is it a woodland? Or is it an open canopy forest? Regardless, the Oak Savana subsection of Minnesota spans 1,819,571 acres across parts of 11 different counties. It is a hugely diverse ecosystem dotted by Oaks, Pines and Poplar with an open canopy that allows a mix of grasses and forbs to populate the ground layer. Inspired by the rolling hills of Burnsville this kit shines a spotlight on a forgotten ecosystem by combining bunch grasses and prairie flowers with sun and drought tolerant woodland species. When you plant an oak you should plant it with its friends like sedges, asters and goldenrods \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit contains 1x Oak sapling per kit.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit requires Full to Part Sun conditions with medium moisture conditions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for 30 - 50 sq. ft.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s in Each Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18x perennial and biennial plants in 3.5\" pots (*NOTE: 2.5\" Substitutions below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4–6x different species, depending on which kit you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30–50% graminoids (grasses, sedges, rushes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1x Oak tree sapling!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy kits make sense:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant money savings.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant garden design.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant ecological impact. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy we changed our Grower’s Kit format from 2025 to 2026? Previously, our kits used a higher number of 2.5” Power Plugs. They were great plants, but we found that newcomers to gardening struggled with spacing, layout, installation and maintenance with such small starts. The 2026 kits now features larger 3.5\" pots because they lead to higher success rates! Typically, bigger pots = quicker establishment, faster bloom time and a smoother experience for first‑time native gardeners without breaking the bank on gallon sizes you get at most conventional garden centers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About Grower’s Choice Kits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are new to native plants, overwhelmed by choice or looking to achieve a specific goal with your landscaping, our Grower's Choice Kits are a straightforward way to get started with confidence.
