Mountain Death Camas—as the name implies—is highly toxic. Just one bulb contains enough of the steroidal alkaloid zygadenine to kill an animal or adult human. As such, it should be planted thoughtfully, away from pets, livestock, and curious children. With that said, it is a striking native wildflower known for its graceful, nodding clusters of…
Don’t let the name fool you—this goldenrod isn’t golden at all. Solidago ptarmicoides, more often called upland white goldenrod or prairie aster, offers crisp white blooms that resemble small daisies, rising above stiff stems and narrow gray-green foliage. Blooming from late summer into fall, this species brings a fresh, clean contrast to the warm golds…
Big bluestem is perhaps the the most iconic of the “big four” tallgrass prairie grasses (big bluestem, Indiangrass, little bluestem, and switchgrass). It is an important host plant for a wide range of native pollinators, a valuable food source for birds, and habitat for numerous small mammals. In a garden setting big bluestem can serve…

Wild bergamot, also called bee balm and spotted horsemint, is a common, early-successional prairie plant with several wonderful characteristics. When in bloom, its little firecracker-style blossoms are almost continuously visited by bees. I can hardly form an image of these flowers in my head without a bee rummaging through its petals! Just as the bees…

Blue grama is a unique short statured grass native to dry prairies of Minnesota. If you’re feeling a little silly you might call it “eyebrow grass,” as the seed heads look like a bunch of little eyebrows nodding in the breeze.
