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.

Side-oats Grama forms robust clumps of leaves with many seed stems in late summer. The seeds have bits of red pollen that add bright color to an otherwise green and tan plant.
