WHAT'S HAPPENING?  BIG SALE starts tomorrow - 6/20/09.  Buy one flat, get one flat free (of equal or lesser value).  Mix and Match.  In-store, retail pick-up only.  Mid-June is best selection time - come and save with us!

WHAT'S BLOOMING?  White Wild Indigo, Phlox, Prairie Phlox, Heart-leaf Golden Alexanders, Spiderwort, Needle Grass, Yarrow, and Early Figwort (just about).  Early Figwort - the BEST native bee plant; not that showy, but the bees love it!

JUNE 1, 2009
WHAT'S BLOOMING?  Lupines (what a display we have in our sand garden - come and see), Indigos, Prairie Smoke (seedheads), Jacob's Ladder (in shadier areas), Harebells, Prairie Phlox, Spiderwort, and Swamp Buttercup (just about done).

MAY 11, 2009
FYI - Ladyslippers have sold out.  We changed our growing out method, which requires an additional year of growing on our part, but will produce a more superior plant for you. 2010 Ladyslippers should be best ever.

MAY 8, 2009
BIG CHANGES, yet again.  We will be open Saturday and Sundays only NOW through June.  The remainder of the year schedule will remain the same.  Sometimes there are things we cannot control.  We are sorry for the inconvenience, but certainly appreciate your patronage. 

Mother's Day this weekend:  Have you told your Mom that you loved her lately?  Please do, because your Mom has been with you since the beginning.  Happy Mother's Day!

We are down to the last of the few remaining Ladyslippers.  Get yours while you can...

What's Blooming?  Trillium, Wild Ginger, Jacob's Ladder, Yellow Downy Violets, a few Bloodroots left.  Pasque Flowers and Dutchmen's Breeches are done.  Ladyslippers on the north side of the house have not yet popped out of the ground.

We are busy in the greenhouse, cleaning seed, planting seed, placing plants in the heated greenhouse (to bring out of dormancy earlier) and completing our 2009 mailing.  The 2009 PLANT LIST is here! 

At Kinnickinnic Natives, we grow about 95% of our plants from seed collected on our site. Occasionally we propagate from cuttings. We NEVER collect or dig from the wild. Diverse plants are the outcome of our labors.

We look forward to seeing you!

Cypripediums are purchased from Spangle Creek Labs as seedlings. We grow the seedlings for two growing seasons before they are available for sale. So, while they are small, there is a lot of love, care and attention given to your ladyslipper.
 
This year, in addition to the Large Yellow and Showy Ladyslippers, we will also have Small White Ladyslippers (Cyp. candidum). We had a few two years ago and they sold very quickly. We are very excited to offer them again.
 
New plants every week. See you soon!
