Good native flowers for a hanging basket? #864765
Asked April 16, 2024, 2:56 PM EDT
I am trying to plant a hanging flower basket (limited space, no actual yard to do a prairie garden) and I'm having trouble finding native flowers that will work in this specific situation. Do you have any suggestions? I can order seeds online but the only place I can buy live flower seedlings is Menards, which is why I'm hesitant to trust that the flowers available would actually be native even if labelled as such.

Expert Response
Not all areas have local resources for native plants. Ordering online is an option. There are many resources, both in and out of state, that ship to your home. Another option I found for your county is ordering online for pick up at the Rice County Fairgrounds. I placed the link below - orders need to be completed by 4/21.
