Sources for native plants
Palouse Prairie in a flat, Pioneer Assortment was a selection of native plants grown by Jensens and was available in the spring of 2007 at several nurseries in the
Pullman-Moscow area as well as by online order from
MaryJanesFarm.
The 2008 version will contain more plants of more varieties and will be available from Prairie
Bloom Nursery in Pullman and Fiddlers Ridge Nursery in Potlatch. In addition a few varieties will be sold singly in 2008.
The new name for Jensen's native seed operation is
Thorn Creek Native Seed Farm. Look for their new website,
currently under construction, which will have information on the seeds and plants available as well as other
Palouse Prairie related information.
Many natives are available either by visiting
Plants of the Wild
in Tekoa Washington or via their online catalog.
