Bring beauty and wildlife to dry, barren spaces with Leadplant! This sturdy prairie native performs like a champ in difficult situations and produces copious spikes of iridescent purple flowers that attract many native bees and other pollinators. The blooms eventually become food for finches, sparrows, and juncos in the form of seed. Bird-lovers will also be happy to know that Leadplant’s handsome, finely-divided foliage supplies our backyard songbirds’ greatest need—caterpillars and grasshoppers! Rich in protein and fat, insects are essential to many birds’ healthy growth and development, and plants that host them should be included liberally in our landscapes.

Bower & Branch is proud to grow Audubon® Native Plants for Birds in partnership with the National Audubon Society to help birds and other wildlife thrive. Your purchase and planting of this native flora directly supports Audubon’s conservation mission and impact.
