LLCT's plant sale is open through April, so there's still time to place an order. Some species have sold out, but we still have lots of great native perennials on offer. All sales are pre-order and pick up is on May 19th in Lincoln, MA. Learn more here. <https://lincolnconservation.org/plant-and-plant-kit-shop/>
*What's available? * *Big Bluestem and Little Bluestem:* These native grasses form attractive tufts. Both enjoy full sun to part shade and tolerate dry soil. They are larval hosts for several species of Skippers. Songbirds eat the seeds. *Sweet Goldenrod and Early Goldenrod: *Goldenrods are hardy perennials (and they don't cause seasonal allergies-that's ragweed). They offer important late summer blooms to pollinators. Both like sun and moderately dry soil. *Calico Aster: *This fairly low growing aster blooms late, offering important nectar resources into October. Tolerates some shade and likes medium soil. *Winged Monkey Flower:* This low growing perennial tolerates sun to part shade and medium soils. Its pale flowers are a favorite for long-tongued bees. *Purple Joe Pye Weed: *This tall perennial likes a bit more water but enjoys full sun or shade. The larger flower heads attract long-tongued bees July-Sept. You can also choose to "donate a plant" which will support planting efforts at LLCT's pollinator gardens throughout town.
