***12-pack MINIMUM ORDER***: There is no 12-pack minimum order for fall orders.
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.
Marsh Milkweed is an excellent pollinator plant for wet areas such as rain gardens or shoreline restorations. It is a host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars and a favorite of pollinators of all kinds. It stays in clumps and doesn’t spread by roots like common milkweed. Marsh Milkweed can even handle wet clay.
